Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 4 cubes Japanese curry roux*1 I used mild curry
• ▢ 400 g water
• ▢ 1/3 large onion It's about 75-85g
• ▢ 1 teaspoon bouillon
• ▢ 1 teaspoon neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, rice bran, canola, etc)
• ▢ tonkatsu HERE is how to cook
• ▢ cooked Japanese rice HERE is how to cook

Instructions

 

1. Rice

• Let's make rice before start making curry or Katsu so that you will have the meal once Katsu is made! (Making rice is here)

2. Curry*2

• Gather all the ingredients
• Mince the onion.
• Use the medium pot and turn the heat to medium. Add oil, minced onion.
• After onion changes color, add water and bring to boiling.
• After boiling the water turn off at once. Add bouillon and the roux. Use chopsticks to help melting it.
• After all the roux has melted, turn the heat to low for 10 minutes. The curry will be thicker and heavier as you cook more.

3. Katsu

• Make your pork katsu from "Pork Katsu Recipe". Once you get tips from this recipe, you can make the delicious katsu at home forever!

Serve

• Let's serve! Add rice, Katsu, and curry on the same plate!
  

Notes

*1 Curry is more delicious next day, so if you have time I recommend you to make curry a day before you want to eat. If you don't have different curry roux, use 6 same roux!

*2 Some people like to add more vegetables or meat in the curry for Katsu curry. I personally like simple curry for it. In this recipe, I only introduce simple curry just for katsu Curry.
