Japanese Chicken Curry


Here it is one of the most commonly used recipe in Japan, japanese curry. As it can be prepared in multiple ways, we are now going to use the chicken curry version. Be aware that you may need some japanese ingredients not available in a normal supermarket but just in specialized stores!

In normal curry you would use red meat and a lot of ingredients, that's what most people think. In this version, using chicken, you'll get a delicious, healthy and really cheap typical japanese dish!

*Note: Taken from the original recipe by funya on the japanese site cookpad.com

INGREDIENTS for 6 servings

* White Rice - 3 cups
* Chicken - 2 breasts
* Dried cayenne peppers - 2 units (use less if you don't like spicy)
* Onion - 2 units
* Pepper - to taste
* Salt - to taste
* Japanese curry package - 1 package / 6 servings worth
* Vegetal Oil

PREPARATION

Note: Prepare cooked rice and start preparing the curry sauce soon so that the ingredient's don't have time to become cold!

1. Theses are the ingredients. First of all we need get one onion cut finely chopped and the other cut in mouth-sized pieces. After that, we have to cut the chicken breasts in mouth-sized pieces.



2. Get the finely chopped onion fried until it gets golden-brown. We use a pot so we can use it to mix it up with the curry sauce afterwards. Put the fried onion aside once it's done.




3. Use a frying pan and get the chicken breasts cooked. You don't need to use much oil, as it usually has a little bit of fat on it. Use salt and pepper to taste.





4. Take the larger onion pieces and put them into the previously used pot. Get them cooked for around 4 minutes and then mix the chicken in it. To avoid the use of extra fat, put the chicken piece by piece and don't use the frying pan's oil. When the onion begins to take a darker colour, put the previously fried onion (point 1), the 2 dried cayenne peppers (don't cut them so you can remove them afterwards if you want) and mix it all up.

5. After preparing and boiling the curry mixture (sauce) for about 15 minutes, mix it with the other ingredients and it's done. Serve it on top of cooked rice!

Yummy!
