Ingredients
- 2 Medium onion
- 1 Tablespoon oil vegetable, sunflower, or canola oil
- 4 Cups water to build your curry
- 1 Cup Japanese curry roux
- 1 Tablespoon water to mix into your curry roux
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- salt optional, taste
Instructions
- Cut onions into quarter and slice them.
- Heat your pan with the oil and sauté onions over a medium-high heat setting. Cook down the onions until they are golden brown and somewhat, a bit crisp.
- Pour in your water and bring to a rolling boil. Keep over a medium-high heat setting. The water needs to infuse with the onion flavors, so simmer down for 5 minutes or so. Skim off foam from the surface and discard the foam.
- In the meanwhile, place the curry roux seasoning into a small bowl, crumble it if it's in cubes, and add the water to that. Mix it all together to a smooth paste.
- Pour the curry roux into the cooking onion water and quickly combine everything well so that no lumps are formed. Reduce the heat a bit if it's bubbling too vigorously.
- Simmer down your curry to the desired consistency. I like it a bit thicker too so that it coats the rice well enough.
- When it looks ready, take from the heat and pour in the soy sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Mix it all well.
- Serve your curry sauce hot over steamed rice and katsu chicken or vegetables.
