Finish Your Meal Prep in Under an Hour with this Japanese Ground Beef Curry

[@McNibZZ]

Dude your recipes have single handedly saved my meal prep. My whole family thinks I'm a good cook and my secret is making the easy recipes on your channel. THANK YOU!

Been making this one for years, it's a real winner! Super easily scalable calorie wise too with the amount of rice and potatoes which is awesome.

Just tried it today and was very happy with the flavour. Huge fan of these easy simple and sizeable meals.

pro tip theres curry cubes that make it even more easy but of course you can't pick your ingredients like you can from scratch

[@jessebrooks6231]

I used to work 12s every week day but Sunday. And prepping my carry meals like this in large batches, saved my ass. I didn't mind some repetitive meals, because it kept me going. I usually spent most of Sunday relaxing while cooking up sets of random ready meals for my containers. It works

[@stuart.whiting]

Love the simplicity of this. My family doesn't really care for curry, but I can see this will be easy to modify to have a different profile like cumin/chili/lime, oregano/basil/thyme, teriyaki, garlic/basil/parsley/lemon, etc. Just finished prepping 2 of your dishes for this week, so this is officially on the list for next week :)

[@TheMealPrepManual]

I'm planning on doing some things like that in the future. I really like this saucy style of meal for meal prep and you are correct that it can be modified in just about any way

Yes, those are great. Unfortunately I’m not supposed to eat gluten anymore which is why I do it this way now. Those all have wheat in them

[@Drust2000]

How would you use the blocks with this recipe, did you replace any of the seasonings or just added the block in to it?

Took me ages to reduce it down. It ended up quite good though. I'd probably use half as much ginger though next time. It overpowered everything else.

considering how easy this is to make, its a 10/10

[@Bugman82]

I wanted to make this vegan. So, I substituted the beef with 2/3 pound of textured vegetable protein hydrated with 2 2/3 cups of water. I substituted the beef broth with my homemade vegetable broth (that I make from leftover vegetable trimmings). I also wanted to avoid using flour, so I steamed an extra 1/2 potato in the microwave and mashed it up to thicken the sauce. Most of the flavor comes from the spices so it was still unbelievably yummy.

[@youtubehandol]

No one cares.

[@Nic_Holas]

[@jonathanclark2751]

Many of Josh's meals are absolute staples in my house. This is the first recipe that following the directions is a hard no from me. I used both an authentic curry powder and garam masala in the directed portions, and even though while doing it that it seemed like a lot but I decided to trust it. It ended up being so overwhelmingly spiced that it's a struggle to get through. It honesty may be my mistake. The recipe may be fine with the weaker store bought American curry powers, but if you're using stronger stuff maybe consider halfing the spice quantity. 99.9% of Josh's recipes are wins, just be weary with this one

[@seanwheeler4059]

As lent is starting, can you make a meat free meal prep? Thanks!

[@snipedilo]

Do you find storing soupy/stewy recipes like this right with the rice to be difficult? Does the rice soak up all the sauce and you get left with mushy rice/no sauce?

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Not for sauces like this one. It's thick enough to stay to one side, especially when cold

[@VipassiXie]

Hi, I'm new to this channel. I want to ask how do you store and reheat the meals for the week? Freeze and microwave it? What are the alternatives if i don't have microwave? Thanks!

[@eisenklad]

if you dont have a microwave, keep the curry separate. cold rice you can steam, heat up water in a pan with steamer rack, place your rice on a plate, plate on the steamer rack. or use fresh rice from the rice cooker. you can heat up the curry in a pan, just add a bit of water so it doesnt become dry. or you could dump it all in a hot pan and stir fry, turning it into curry rice (something like the tomato rice in japanese omelette rice)

[@VipassiXie]

thanks@@eisenklad

[@Vira.Panikar]

[@inbarkurti4524]

Is it ok to substitue half of the beef broth with water?

[@TheSatisfiedPig]

[@joelthepizzawizard493]

Love how if i divide it to 6 meals its almost am even 600 calories per meal.

[@spiciest-pepper]

I feel like mine is much soupier than yours... any idea why? I used 4 cups of beef broth.

[@VerusVertus]

I wonder what the substitution would be if we wanted to use the premade curry cubes instead of the spices. I have never found the flavor to be my liking using curry powder and garam masala. The box says 1 box per 1lb of meat but I'm not sure.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

My mom always used the box of golden curry when I was growing up. Now that I have to eat gluten free I have to make my own but I do like the store bought ones. I would do a whole box of the golden curry in place of the seasonings and I’d imagine it would turn out well

[@VerusVertus]

@@TheMealPrepManual I will have to give it a try. I will report back on how it turns out. Also note for those for whom it matters, using the boxed stuff does drastically increase the salt.

[@peterkeleher]

i have never got ill - cook the rice, put a towel on top of it for 15/20 minutes to absorb extra moisture, straight into a fridge in the containers. heat it up properly. only morons who leave rice to cool on kitchen counter for like 2 hours + get ill and even then its still quite rarer.

[@Analdil]

i dont understand why americans allways use "cooked rice" instead of uncooked. i feel like its so much harder to meal prep like that, i dont know how much my rice weighs cooked, do i just cook a random amount and hope that its somewhat close to what i need and i throw the rest away? :(((

[@Amberuzor]

American here and I don’t use cooked rice. I use measurement of uncooked rice. I one time used his measurements of cooked rice and I had a ton of rice leftover

[@TheMealPrepManual]

Most people that use my recipes use precooked rice so it’s easier to use it as a target. On top of that the type of rice you use, and the cooking method is going to impact how much cooked rice is made from your dry rice so in order to standardize things it’s much easier just to use cooked rice as a measurement for me. I always make extra rice, I just put the excess in the fridge and eat it throughout the week

[@appo9357]

Because absorbing the water makes the rice heavier. Just mentally double the uncooked weight and you’ll be fine.

[@manu3939393]

Well here the rice is really just a side so just think about how many meals you will divide it into and how much dry rice you want to eat per meal. 100 g / meal of dry rice works well for me, maybe a bit less if you're prepping to lose weight

I feel this is is closer to an indian curry than a japanese one

[@ballsackschrader218]

Japanese curries are based on Indian curries. The british introduced indian curries to the Japanese, and the Japanese made some alterations and gave it their own spin. They are very similar. They use similar spices for example.

[@jeycalc6877]

@@ballsackschrader218 no they are not similar, I have been eating both my whole life, VERY different.

[@ballsackschrader218]

​​​@@jeycalc6877 they taste different because they different amounts of spices but they use the same spices. I'm guessing you're calling it Indian because he used curry powder and garam masala. But Japanese curry powders are similar to British style curry powders you usually find in the west. Both are less spicy than most Indian curry powder. Unless you are experienced in making both those curries and familiar with the amounts and proportions of spices used, it's hard to tell to tell from simply watching a video which is which from simply watching a video, without tasting it. And this recipe also uses stock and soy sauce which arent used in traditional indian curries. And indian curries often use yoghurt, coconut milk or cream etc and cooked tomatoes, which weren't used here. And there's also the problem of India being a very diverse country with each region having their own curries. So its hard to know what curry you are familiar. Some of them are more similar to Japanese curries than others.
