Japanese curry is like a warm hug in a bowl! Use curry roux blocks (found at Asian markets) for authentic taste. Comfort food at its finest!

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken thighs, cubed
• 2 potatoes, cubed
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 3 cups water
• 1 package Japanese curry roux (Golden Curry, Vermont, or Java)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cups cooked rice
• Fukujinzuke pickles (optional but traditional)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large pot. Brown chicken pieces on all sides, about 5 minutes.
2. Add onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add potatoes and carrots. Stir for 2 minutes.
4. Pour in water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
5. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
6. Turn off heat. Break curry roux into pieces and add to pot.
7. Stir until roux completely dissolves (this creates the thick, rich sauce).
8. Simmer on low for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Serve over rice. Add pickles on the side!
