Chicken Curry Rice
Chicken Curry Rice is a popular Japanese dish that features chicken-based rice topped with a thick, stew-like Japanese curry sauce.
Curry paste starts with a batter of curry powder, flour and fat/oil. This forms the base flavor.
Spices such as onions, garlic and ginger are sautéed and then simmered into a sauce along with the meat sauce.
Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and sometimes mushrooms are cooked in curry paste.
Fry the chicken legs and place them on top of the rice.
Spiciness can range from quite mild to medium.
Spoon the finished chicken curry over a bowl of steamed Japanese short-grain rice.
This is a very popular, kid-friendly dish commonly found in curry house chains, school cafeterias, and homes across Japan.
The thick, slightly sweet curry sauce and tender chicken exemplify the Japanese flair for transforming and perfecting dishes.
