Curry rice (curry and rice / kare-raisu) is a very popular dish in Japan. According to the statistics, we Japanese eat curry rice twice a month!!!
Today, I will show you how to make basic curry rice. More curry rice recipes are coming, so don't miss them and I hope you enjoy!
---------------------------------
Curry Rice (Vermont Curry)
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 6
Ingredients:
1/2 box = 119g (4.2oz.) House Vermont Curry Sauce Mix (Med Hot) *we call it "curry roux". you can choose mild or hot as well.
250g (8.8oz.) meat *chicken, pork, beef, etc...
2 medium (400g=14.1oz.) onions
1&1/2 medium (225g=7.9oz.) potatoes
1/2 medium (100g=3.5oz.) carrot
850ml water
1 tbsp. cooking oil or butter
6 servings cooked rice
Directions:
1. Cut meat of your choice into bite-size pieces. Cut the onions into bite-size pieces. Cut the potatoes and the carrot into bite-size pieces.
2. Heat the cooking oil in a large stew pot. Add onions, carrots, and potatoes, and stir-fry them until slightly coated with oil. Add meat and cook until no longer pink.
3. Add 850ml water, bring to a boil, remove the foam, and turn the heat down to low and cook for about 15 minutes.
4.Turn off the heat, break up the curry roux into the pot, and mix well until completely melted. *make sure you stop the heat when you add the curry roux, otherwise it won't blend well.
5. Then put on the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
6. Serve curry on a hot bed of rice.
*for best results, don't use a lid while cooking.
*curry and rice is best eaten on the day it's made but if you have any leftover, store it in the fridge and finish it on the next day, but it is not recommended.
*if you have leftover curry roux, wrap in a plastic wrap and store it in the fridge and use within a week.

I love coming back to this recipe tutorial when I make curry! It always comes out delicious, my boyfriend loves it and I double ingredients for leftovers! 🍛😋

[@ochikeron]

Wonderful!

[@taichitanaka7292]

I’m a Japanese man. I recommend to mince unions and fry up until their color change to yellow ocher. (1:57) That adds the sweetness of curry. And I suggest everyone cooking Japanese curry to fry up minced garlic after onions. That adds the curry flavor. Almost homemade Japanese curries are made up like this. Japanese curry will lead you into amazing cuisine world.

I tried making this once and for the first time in my life..my dad (who's a chelf), praised me! He said that it tasted better than he expected (since all the other dishes I tried to make I had to throw it out) and he even asked for second! I've never been more proud of myself T^T

[@grimscar]

yes, you'll be fine without adding onions, although at someone who grew up hating onions... they get soft, and you can't really 'taste' the onion itself, sort of blends in. So I put them in and it's fine. You can always chop them smaller as well, they become mostly invisible. You could also add in peas, garbanzo beans, lentils, corn, etc.

[@tymobile5647]

I like the Japanese curry rice so much, every time I eat them, remind me of my university life. Even now, i cook this dish often for my wife: ) thanks for sharing this warm food.

[@Liliann31]

tengyuan cheng how nice. Lucky wife

[@ungreebledbouba]

This looks so good! My mom's coworker just bought us two boxes of mild vermont curry and we were a little confused by the instructions (they say to use one box of the sauce mix, we didn't know if it meant one of the little prepackaged boxes inside, or the entire box) but your video is nice and easy to follow! Thank you~

[@ochikeron]

aww amazing!!! glad it helped understand the recipe on the box ;)

[@roshelwagner9029]

This is exactly why I watched the video, I had no idea how much curry mix to use, thank you!

[@rebeccabirch6130]

I had curry rice for dinner tonight! Honestly, it's one of my new favorite things. Easy to make, super cheap (one onion, one potato, and some chicken, plus carrots) and it tastes great! I made it on a whim about a month ago, and I have made it almost once a week since.

[@zz7733]

How many blocks would you use if using just one veggie each? I just wanna make enough for myself too!

[@poriji]

Its been six years but we still need to know how many blocks you use..

[@rebeccabirch6130]

@@poriji I HAS been six years (wow... I'm old). I usually start, if I'm making it just for me, with two. Let that dissolve, and then I add more. I usually cook for me and my wife (oh how things have changed lol) and I use a full block (so four pieces) in a pot.

[@nadaabby]

Watching this now Jan 21, 2022 - Loved Curry Rice so much! I think i only tried twice. Now i got myself the curry roux and wanna cook some for my family!

[@ochikeron]

Sounds great 😉

[@nadaabby]

@@ochikeron been a follower since your early years wow. Sorry been out from Yt for a while.

[@CANDYZANE69]

I keep curry blocks in my cabinet ALWAYS. I am in love with Curry from the first taste. I like to add a Jalapeno pepper to mine to make it spicy.

[@ochikeron]

Sounds great!

[@spencer0909]

I made this recipe for my boyfriend's birthday and it was so wonderful! Thank you for the basic follow through!

[@ochikeron]

You are so welcome! Happy Birthday 💖

[@Spicymeatball6969]

I've had this many times. I recently used this curry (minus the meat, just vegetables only) to put in meat pies. It was delicious-- Japanese curry meat pies. I will be making these for work and selling them in the bakery. I like mild.

[@ochikeron]

Wonderful! Love it 😊👍

[@timothylam4289]

I followed every step in this video and it turned out insanely delicious. Many thanks!

[@ochikeron]

Great to hear! Thank you!!!

I live in Japan now with my gf and love Japanese curry rice. I used your video to cook curry for everyone and everyone loved it. ありがとうございました！

[@catanarchist25]

I love curry rice! My daughter brought home cubes from Japan (where she lives), and we ate homemade curry rice; I also ate restaurant curry rice during a recent trip to Japan to visit my daughter. DELICIOUS!

I just made this for my family for the first time- wasn't sure if they would have liked it or not until i saw them go back for seconds!! ^-^ thanks for the recipe!!

[@Thanatosimpulse]

I saw this video and decided to give this curry a try. I didn't use Vermont because the only flavor available was this honey apple flavor and I really wanted basic spicy curry. So I used Golden Curry instead. Anyway, I really enjoyed this recipe! It's really simple and easy for me to make (it took only less than 30 minutes even with prep time.) And it's so nice to eat it for lunch! Thanks so much!

[@SissouwChan]

Just made this recipe! I'm a vegetarian, so without meat. I was afraid it would taste bland, but it was super tasty! My boyfriend who isn't a vegetarian loved it too. I added sweet potatoes :)

[@ochikeron]

Sounds great!

[@waupfoo]

This brings me back to my childhood....comfort food during cold winter months. Thanks for the upload!

[@ShadowZZZ]

FINALLY. someone on youtube, who can actually cook properly!

[@woolzem]

I hope you know that I tried this for the very first time in my life when I was 30 years old. My brother in law made it for me with lots of wild mushrooms, tofu, and soy curls. He added apple as the special ingredient. My husband added the caramelized onion. We haven't stopped making Japanese curry!! I thought Indian curry would be my favorite, but they're both amazing!!

[@ochikeron]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️

[@annjfk]

I tried it ochikeron, lovely and simple!! Thanks for sharing this and I really enjoy your show and the style of presentation. So very clear and organized! I also had to make my own roux and it turned out quite nice, better than I had hoped. :)

I have tried Curry rice, it is the flavour of bliss and happiness. I'll be forever thankful to India and Japan for inventing this delicacy

I've tried many curry dishes from other countries but Japanese is always my favorite. Love the flavors, seasonings and easy to digest ingredients.

[@ochikeron]

yeah, sweet potatoes must be good. i heard from some people that they liked them more than potatoes. hehe

[@mokshmoon3253]

I'm Indian so my idea of curry and rice is a little different but I tried this and it was a delicious and different way to make curry. My fiancé and I both enjoyed it a lot and always buy some packs of the kare roux to have in the house. Thank you for the recipe!

Wow amazing 💖👍
