Spicin' things up


Well, I guess the Japanese food experiments continue. This classic is called Kare Raisu (curry rice). It's really similar to our beef stew with a bit of a curry 'kick' to it. The most basic ingredients include beef, onion, carrots and potatoes, but there are so many versions that you can pretty much put in whatever you like. It's a bit more 'labor intensive' than the other dishes (lots of stirring, cooking time and attention, etc) but well worth it! This dish can be reheated again and again , with more ingredients added each time and the flavor deepening too as the ingredients blend together. So, making a big batch seems the way to go. Next time want to try with shrimp and scallops. yum.
