🧂 Ingredients

1 box Kokumaro Curry Sauce Mix

you can usually find this at a Japanese grocery store or order as many boxes as you'd like online.
300 grams Beef

the original recipe just states 'MEAT' but that just means you can use any meat you want. I prefer to use beef when making Japanese curry although chicken is great if you are making a katsu curry. (about 2/3 pound)
400 grams Onions

as you can see I am using shallots instead. I would say I have a culinary reason for making the substitution but to be honest I just didn't feel like walking to the market. (about 9/10 of a pound)
300 grams Potatoes

I suggest using starchy yellow potatoes. about 2/3 pound
200 grams Carrot

this is about 1-2 carrots depending on size but what is more important is finding straight, non-tapered carrots as they are more uniform in the final dish.
2 tbsp Oil

I use sunflower oil but you can use any neutral oil with a high smoke point.
1 liter Water

4 and 1/5 cups

1 Cut the beef into bite size pieces. Dice onion. Peel potatoes and carrots. Dice
potato into bite size pieces and cut carrots into circles.
2 Put some oil in a pot and put heat up to medium-high. When hot add the beef and
onion and give everything a stir. Goal is to brown the meat here so stir every
minute or so to prevent anything sticking to the bottom and burning.
3 When the beef is mostly browned add the carrot and potato and mix again.
4 Add the water and reduce heat to low to simmer for 15 minutes.
5 Next add in the Kokumaro curry powder and stir the pot. Let simmer for another
10 minutes. Stir every so often so nothing sticks to the bottom and burns.
6 Serve this Kokumaro Japanese curry alongside some fluffy white rice for a truly
authentic Japanese comfort food.
