japanese curry

Cooking had been pretty dummy proof,
depend on what's you & your loved ones preferences
i was pretty curious how this japanese curry works..

ingredients:
lean beef/chicken/lambs/shrimps/practically anything you like
i use pime spare ribs(what i have in my freezer at d'moment)
1 carrot,
1 onion,
4 potatoes (used 4 becoz it goes well with the curry)
(celery, bell pepper / any other vegetables

cut the above ingredients into cubes.


Fried the potatoes till golden brown


i browned my prime ribs before stir-fry

Stir fry meat & onions in oils/butter until onions are lightly browned, approx 3mins
Add in the vegetables.

Add water snf bring to boil.
Reduce heat, cover & simmer until meat is tender,approx.15mins
Remove from heat, break golden curry sauce mix into pieces and add them into the pot
stir until completely completely melted.
Simmer 5mins,stir constantly



Serve hot over rice/noodle
husb.wish its more saucy,
i added less water, its different from the usual chicken curry i attempt.
Guess it should be really saucy as shown in the pics....hmmmm.
