In the wintertime when it’s cold I love to make a pot of chili and let it cook all day. Just as much as Dallas and I like to make chili, a comfort food from my childhood, we also love to make Japanese curry stew, a comfort food from his childhood. It’s just as much a perfect winter comfort food a chili is.
Basically, you just need to buy the curry, which is available in the “ethnic” section of any supermarket, and follow the instructions on the back. We get beef and cut it up, or just buy beef stew meat, carrots, potatoes and maybe some onions.
Adam Kuban wrote a great piece on Japanese curry for Serious Eats. Oh, and remember these photos of the Japanese curry we had in Honolulu?
