Unlike Indian or Thai curry, Japanese curry is more savory than spicy. This chicken recipe uses Golden Curry® brand curry cubes, that can be found in the Asian section of any grocery store. It's the definition of umami! Oishii desu ne!? (Delicious, isn't it!?)

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 ⅓ cups water, divided
1 (7.75 ounce) package curry sauce mix (such as S&B® Golden Curry®)
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
5 new potatoes, halved
1 (8 ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups jasmine rice (such as Mahatma®)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large, deep skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1/3 cup water to the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes.
  • While chicken is cooking, pour 2 cups water into a microwave-safe bowl. Break curry sauce mix into pieces and add to water. Heat in the microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes; remove and stir until sauce mix has completely dissolved.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet. Cut into cubes, return to the skillet, and pour curry sauce over top. Stir in peas, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring remaining water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Scoop rice into bowls and serve curry on top.

JAPANESE GOLDEN CURRY



Japanese Golden Curry image

This recipe is something I came up with to go with a box of Golden Curry Sauce mix I spontaneously purchased (what a find!). I made it with just veggies but I think adding some protein (chicken, beef, tofu, etc) would be great too. The flavors are so savory with a hint of spice (cinnamon?). You can find Golden Curry at most grocery stores in the Asian section - I found mine at an average Ralphs.

ONE-POT JAPANESE CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



One-Pot Japanese Curry Chicken and Rice image

Usually milder and sweeter than Indian curries, classic Japanese curry is a thick beef-and-vegetable stew served over rice. This recipe is not a traditional one, but rather an easy weeknight version, a one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, vegetables and rice. Instead of relying on store-bought or homemade instant curry roux, this dish relies on a few spices to mimic traditional Japanese curry flavors. Curry powder, ground nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce are combined and bloomed in butter to create the round and rich sauce. Onions, potatoes and carrots create the bulk of traditional Japanese curry, but sweet potatoes, cauliflower and peas would be great substitutions or additions. Serve the meal with any type of pickle you have on hand for a vinegary hit to contrast the rich curry.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 large thighs)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 large baking potato (about 1 pound), such as russets, white or Idaho, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1 1/2 cups)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Chopped scallions, pickles, kimchi and/or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium until butter is melted. Working in two batches, brown chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion to the pot, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add curry powder, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and stir until butter is melted and spices are fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add rinsed rice and stir until evenly coated in spices. Add potato, carrots, broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping bottom of pot to lift up any browned bits. Season broth generously with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken (and any accumulated juices) on top, skin-side up, and bring to a boil over high. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Divide chicken and rice among bowls, and garnish with scallions. Serve with any combination of pickles, kimchi and hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for good-quality chicken, vegetables, and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When browning the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the curry watery.
  • Use a good quality curry roux: The curry roux is what gives the curry its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a roux that is made with real Japanese spices and doesn't contain any fillers or additives.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer the curry, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Japanese curry include rice, noodles, vegetables, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Japanese golden chicken curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender chicken, this curry is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this Japanese golden chicken curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
