    "Ground beef a lot more accessible to people around the world…" except in Taiwan where ground beef, hell most beef, is typically only found at Costco, and about US$8 a kg.

    You had ginger in your mis…where would that go in? Garnish?

    absolutely no hate for your recipe, it looks delicious and is definitely a step in the right direction to learn how to make japanese curry from scratch, but i'm thinking, if you buy the curry powder and the dashi from the store, at that point if i'm making it i'm just buying instant curry ! 😅

    As a "lazy" simple variant, I suppose that curry powder is okay. I will however say that a good Japanese style curry spice mix is very different in flavour and can easily be reproduced at home within the span of a few minutes. Just take a mix of cumin, turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, nutmeg, chili powder, allspice, cloves, and a dash of cinnamon – all of which can be ground spices from the get go. Put them in a container and give them a shake. Done.
    I mix that stuff once a year in an empty jam glass (200grams), it takes maybe 2 minutes, keeps all year, and (to me) tastes much better for japanese curry than any industrial curry powder. It's also a nice versatile spice for dipping sauces, japanese style BBQ sauce, and a few other things.

    the thing for me that makes a japanese curry a japanaese curry is a french rue that has been pushed beyond the blonde stage and the rice and potato mix with curry spices. personally i like buying the pre-made curry blocks from imports (amazon has since they keep for a really long time)

    i have done something very similar to this but rather than as a stew i made it more into a meat sauce. so rather than flour and curry spices i use said curry blocks and a good squeeze of tomato paste, i finely dice the onion and grate the carrots only leaving the chunks of potato as the big part. it normally takes me like 30 minutes from start to finish with cleaning up to have enough food for 10-12 people. (or a weeks worth of healthy food for you that is honestly silly cheap)

    Have you ever tried cooking rice in a steamer? Makes some of the best rice I've ever had. Just rinse and parboil some rice for 4 minutes, then drain and put in a tea towel in a bamboo steamer and steam for 15 minutes, and let rest for 5 more.

    re: your comment at the end for soup season, etc .. don't go all-in on the short-form. regardless of what the ever-changing youtube algorithm says today, normal long-form videos are the content people truly appreciate.

    Actually you can make it into a 15 minutes cooking. They way it work would be potato and water first, after 5 minutes, put in the carrots, then curry powder with all your msg. meat entered at the 10th minutes, peas should be after that, and depending on how mushy you want them to be, you can put it immediately after the meat or a minute or two after. Lastly, because we did not make the roux like in a regular Japanese curry style, mix water and a tablespoon of water in a bowl, pour them bit by bit on the 14th minutes. Try to adjust the thickness by then.

    I’m a longtime Japanese curry fan. Lived there many, many years. My favorite fastfood chain is CoCo Ichibanya. They have this amaaaaaazing selection of curries and add-ons that make it possible to never eat the exact same dish twice. One of my favorite variations is stupid simple: slices of roasted garlic. Try it. It might just change your life. 😉

    Western style Curry powder gets a lot of hate in Japanese Curry?

    It's supposed to be Western Style, that is the only genuine style of curry powder for it. You do you. But if you want a Genuine Japanese curry, as the Japanese would cook and serve it, you use Western style curry powder.

    While the concept of a Curry spice-blend might originate in India, Japan did not get introduced to Curry via India, they got introduced to it via Great Britain and its Navy, which in turn used Western Style curry powder, which has its roots in the indian immigrant population in GB.

    Edit: Curry-powder is NOT a shortcut. It's a genuine ingredient.

    Soup suggestion: I'll repeat my bid for you to look at the great Pie Floater from Australia – pea and ham soup with a meat pie floating in it, and tomato sauce the essential condiment. Hard to beat on a cold winter night!

    Fast hack… instant Gelatin. Works for Ramen too… Oh, and keep those roast pan drippings frozen as ice cubes in the freezer and pop a few in when doing a curry or Ramen. S and B curry is my favorite.
