Ingredients

  • 1 box Japanese curry roux
  • water amount according to the box (approx 5.5 cups)
  • olive or neutral oil
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or protein of choice
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1 large russett potato skinned and cut
  • 1/2 zucchini cut small
  • 1 large carrot cut small
  • corn kernels
  • spinach
  • Add anything else you would like

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables.
  • In a large pot, heat olive/neutral oil. Once heated, put in your ground beef (or protein of choice) and cook until lightly browned.
  • Add in the vegetables and mix (if you are including spinach or broccoli, I recommend adding those at the end).
  • Add water according to the curry roux box instructions (usually about 5.5 cups). It should just cover all the ingredients in the pot.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes. Make sure to skim off any impurities that bubble up. (If you are adding in spinach and broccoli, I add them in the last 3-5 minutes before the 15 minutes are up.)
  • Remove from heat and break off the curry blocks and place into the pot. Mix very well. The stew should thicken fairly quickly.
  • If it is still a bit thin, simmer for 5 more minutes, uncovered.
  • If you want to blend your ingredients, this is the time to do it.
  • Serve over rice and enjoy!
