Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil until warm. Then add the ½ inch minced ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves and stir for 1 minute. Add the small yellow chopped onion and diced celery and stir for about 3 minutes until the onions start to turn translucent.
- Add 1 ½ lb chopped bite-sized pieces of chicken and stir for 2-3 minutes, until the outside of the chicken is cooked but the centers are still raw.
- Add the 3 ½ cups water, 2 carrots cut into rounds, 2 choppted potato, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. While the water is coming to a boil, use a spoon to scoop off any film forming on the top of the water. Once simmering, cover and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Add in the 6 pieces of curry, one block at a time. Stir to dissolve the one block, and then add the next. Mix well.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes with the lid off, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the curry thickens.
- Serve with short grain white rice and enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe reviewed by Japanese reader, Kengai Wilberding. Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Ginger & Garlic: Minced
- Celery Stalk: My recipe includes celery because I found a recipe online from KurumiCooks that had celery. However, many other recipes online do not. Feel free to omit this celery if desired.
- Chicken: You can use either chicken breast or chicken thighs. Chicken breasts will be slightly healthier and chicken thighs tend to stay juicer longer.
- Carrot Chunks
- Golden Potatoes: Golden potatoes provide the best texture for this recipe but you could use any kind of potato that you have on hand.
- Soy Sauce: Optional. See celery note above.
- Golden Curry: I’ve seen golden curry sold at my local grocery store and at Walmart. It comes in a box and the curry is divided into sections like a chocolate bar. It's a golden brown color and smells delicious! You can also find it at Asian grocery stores.
- Steamed Rice: Short grain white rice for serving
- Celery and soy sauce are optional. They are used occasionally by home cooks but not frequently. I added them because I saw them used in a few versions. You could also add green beans or green peas.
- Some versions of this recipe add a grated apple for sweetness and dark cocoa powder for depth and richness. Feel free to try these additions.
- This recipe calls for water but you could also use chicken stock.
- This version is made with chicken but you could also make this curry with beef or a pork cutlet. It is also popular to make chicken katsu for katsu curry.
