I've always been a fan of Japanese curry, and I usually keep one of those Glico Japanese curry blocks at home! Recently, I began to wonder whether it would be much more work to make the curry from scratch, because surely, it must taste better! And it turned out that the extra work is only in prepping a few additional ingredients, but the cooking time is still the same. Considering how much better (and fresher) it tastes, it is so totally worth it!
In this recipe I use beef, because I just LOVE the flavour of beef with this curry, but you can use any other protein you like, or add no protein at all. It's common in Japan to make the curry sauce sans meat, and serve it with a piece of breaded and fried pork cutlet. So you can really take the basic idea of the sauce and apply it however you like!
