Today we fly to Japan to enjoy a delicious Japanese Beef Curry with Rice! I LOVE curry, on the other hand it is one of the dishes that is part of my Caribbean heritage and I must say that Japanese curry is absolutely the one that reflects the characteristics and flavour of what I know is prepared in Martinique. Most likely because it is not in powder but in blocks where it manages to maintain a sort of freshness, in fact the curry that is prepared in Martinique is in paste.
The flavour and aroma are really intense, and each bite leads you to immediately want another one. The sauce is velvety because the Japanese curry is a kind of Roux, so it will thicken the sauce, making it even more delicious. Obviously, alongside a curry, rice cannot be missing, I used basmati because I had run out of Japanese rice. Usually Japanese Beef Curry another type of curry like katsu karē is accompanied by Furkujinzuke (pickled pink daikon) or Beni Shoga cut in jullienne (pink baby ginger).
Japanese Beef Curry and Variation
Curry in Japan is a very popular dish both at home and in restaurants. Japanese Beef Curry it’s one of the most popular, but is also prepared with pork and chicken. The shrimp version is also very popular and the vegetarian version is gaining ground. There are many variations to present curry, for example one of the most popular is certainly the katsu karē a thick pork cutlet breaded in panko and fried, served with rice and covered for 2/3 by the curry sauce.
The Karē-pan (Curry Pan), which can be as long as a panzerotto or round filled with curry, breaded in panko and fried, really delicious! If you make curry at home I suggest you to put some curry away to prepare them the next day! Curry Udon and Ramen Curry are also popular.
Japanese Beef Curry is not difficult to prepare and there are several types of curry to choose from. The most used is the one in blocks, but there is also the powder version. You can find them in a sweet version, like the one used in this recipe, in various degrees of spiciness and also in flavoured versions such as honey or dashi broth.
