Japanese curry 🍛
I meal prepped this in advance so don't have a nice pic of a serving.
Will update post with recipe when I'm on my pc. :)
Edit for recipe:
- 800g pork mince
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 potatoes, cubed
- 2 apples, small dice
- 2 carrots, small dice
- red cabbage, roughly chopped (unsure of quantity, maybe 100g that I had frozen)
- 3 tbsp garlic paste
- 2 tsp ginger paste
- 2 S&B Golden Curry block packets (1 Hot, 1 Medium Hot - see picture)
- Approx. 1.1L water
- Extra curry powder to taste
Method:
- In a large dutch oven (approx. 6L Bacarat, for reference), fry off onions, carrots, and cabbage in olive oil until softened.
- Add mince, break up and fry off until browned. Add garlic and ginger, and fry off for a minute or so.
- Add apples and potatoes to pot and stir to combine. Add water, bring to a boil then lower to a medium simmer. Put lid on and simmer for 10-15 mins or until potatoes are cooked as desired.
- Turn off heat. Break up curry blocks and add to pot. Stir until curry blocks have dissolved and incorporated. Add additional curry powder to taste (I did this as I should have used 2 x Hot curry block packets as the taste was a bit too mild for me).
- Turn on low heat and simmer until curry has thickened.
Please note the last pic was prior to the curry blocks being added to the pot so it looks a bit watery and anemic lol.
I've made a similar recipe with the Muji curry powder packets before (purchased in Japan), but again find them a bit too mild for my taste and tend to trick the recipe up with extra curry powder and seasoning. I'm keen to find a curry recipe to replicate the flavour of Coco Ichiban from Japan.
