My thoughts:

Kareh Raisu (curry rice) is 1 of my favorite Japanese dishes. It is filling too hearty too luckily pretty slow to brand at home! Instant curry packets are readily available (even at stores similar Safeway) fifty-fifty hither inwards Baltimore where Japanese ingredients tin hold upwards tricky to discovery exactly I discovery that similar amongst most things, making it from scratch is then much tastier! The play tricks is to role the correct curry powder. Luckily, S & B Oriental Curry Powder is available at nearly whatever Asian grocery store; I've seen it at Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indian too Filipino markets.

H5N1 lot of recipes convey you lot using tapioca or rice flour slurries to thicken the dish exactly every bit you lot tin see, it is quite thick take away from the pot! In fact, if you lot similar a soupier curry rice you lot mightiness desire to sparse it out amongst about beef broth. My secret? The Muraski sweetness potato. It literally melts into the dish. The cubes disappear too the mixture is magically thickened. It likewise adds the sweetness that Japanese curry needs without adding carbohydrate or apples similar about recipes telephone hollo upwards for too you lot become all of the wellness benefits of the sweetness potato.  It is a lilliputian non-traditional, ordinarily beef curry rice does non convey sweetness spud exactly I honey the season too thickening it provides.
