Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you a recipe that I know you guys will love - Japanese CURRY! In Japan many people make curry with pre-made curry roux or kits - but today I’ll show you how to make it all from scratch!
00:00 Intro
00:36 A Word from Our Sponsor
01:16 Preparing Our Vegetables and Chicken
03:20 Cooking Our Curry
05:23 Homemade Curry Roux
07:47 Dessert Time
Ingredients (2 servings):
- Two Large Tomatoes
- ½ large onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ginger (same amount as garlic)
- One Large Skinless Chicken Breast (aprox. 200g)
- 150g Daikon Radish
- ½ Apple
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp cooking sake (or white wine)
- 2 tbsp honey
Optional
- 10g butter
- 30g coconut milk
How to Make:
- You don’t have to remove the skins from your tomatoes but doing so will give you a smoother silkier curry - to do this, score 2 large slits in the bottom of the tomato skins and place the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, transfer them to an ice bath and the skins will come off easily when cooled down
- Cut the tomatoes into small bite-sized chunks
- Dice ½ a large onion, grate one clove of garlic and the same amount of ginger - you can prepare any other vegetables to add to your curry too but make sure they are the small enough to cook through
- Cut one large chicken breast (skinless) into bite-sized chunks and remove any fatty or sinew parts and season with 3g of salt and pepper
- Heat olive oil over a medium heat and then add your onions - you want to let them caramelize for about 10-15 minutes. They should turn translucent and the liquid should start to evaporate from the onion
- At this point add your garlic, ginger and chicken - keep cooking for 5-10 minutes until no pink parts of the chicken remain
- Once the outside of the chicken is cooked add your tomatoes - continue cooking for around 20 minutes to really stew the tomatoes down
- While your curry is cooking, grate 150g of daikon radish and add to your curry straight away (this will help thicken your curry and add a sweeter flavor)
- You can also add ½ of an apple grated for a similar effect - or add both!
- To make a home-made version of a japanese curry roux add 2 tbsp of curry powder, 2tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2tsbp cooking sake (or white wine) and 2 tbsp of honey (you may want to microwave it for a few seconds to easily stir through your curry)
- These next steps or optional but can make your curry milder and smoother - add 10g of butter and 30g of coconut milk
- Finally season your curry to taste

I hope you guys enjoyed this version of Japanese Curry! You can make it with the premade box roux - but I think making from scratch tastes much better and is much better for you!

I remember the first time I made Japanes Curry for my family. Half of them were like we don't like curry... Years later and I will still get texts saying "hey remember to invite me over if you make curry."

Most grocery stores here in the states carry Japanese curry. S&B Golden Curry seems to be the most popular one, but you can find JAVA, Vermont, and Kokumaro in most Asian grocery stores. When we make it at home, we switch up the order: We salt & pepper the meat, brown up it nice in the pan on a high heat, take out the meat, deglaze the pan with a little of water and then caramelize the onions. Then we add carrots with the meat back into the pan, fill with water until covered, and add 1/2 the curry roux. That way the meat can simmer until its nice and tender while absorbing the flavor the curry and onions without worrying about burner the curry. After that I work in the rest of the curry roux to get it to thicken up. Love doing this way with chicken drumsticks still on the bone.

Wow this looks so much simpler and quicker than having to make the roux 1st using flour, which is why I don't make curry that often. Having to wash too many kitchen utensils is such a pain. I'm definitely gonna try making curry this way next time.

I remember the first time I made Japanese curry using vermont curry, I didn't use any beef, just pure sauce on top of tonkatsu, so it was a total failure from what I had in restaurants
-
I absolutely love making Japanese curry at home, it's super simple and so flavorful, but I usually find myself just using alot of store bought ingredients. I'm excited to try my hand at this recipe for a more authentic flavor!
