Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Curry on Rice
  1. Begin by chopping the potatoes, carrots, and onions into 1-inch chunks for even cooking. Mince garlic and grate an apple.
  2. Soak the chopped potatoes in warm water for 15 minutes to reduce starch and enhance creaminess.
  3. Sprinkle salt on the cubed beef and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a medium pot, heat oil and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides (5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  5. Melt butter in the same pot and sauté the onions until golden brown and caramelized (about 8 minutes).
  6. Add minced garlic, soaked potatoes, and chopped carrots to the pot, stirring for 2 minutes, then return the beef.
  7. Pour in the water or stock to cover the ingredients in the pot and stir in optional ingredients.
  8. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
  9. Check the texture of the potatoes; if tender, proceed to add the curry roux.
  10. Remove from heat and gradually add the curry roux, stirring until fully dissolved.
  11. Return to low heat and simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes, stirring continuously.
  12. Serve the curry hot over a mound of fluffy rice.
