Notes
- *1 Cooking rice instruction and time are not included in this recipe. See "how to cook rice without a rice cooker"
- *2 Commercial curry roux usually comes in two sizes. The larger packet is about 8 oz (230g) and the smaller packet is about 4 oz (115g)
- *3 The meat can be replaced with any protein like chicken, beef, pork, prawn, etc. I used chicken for the photos of this post.
- *4 You need potato about 10 oz (300g)
- *5 You need carrots about 3.5 oz (100g)
- *6 Fukshinduke is pickled radish, eggplant, and other vegetables that are commonly used as condiments for Japanese curry rice. You can purchase them in a jar. Rakkyo is also pickled scallion also commonly used as a condiment for Japanese curry rice and this can be purchased in a jar as well.
- *7 Cooking rice takes time which varies with how you cook it. My rice cooker takes about 40 minutes. So set it first and while the rice is cooking, you can make the curry.
- *8 Because we don't want to find undissolved chunks of curry roux later.
