YummlyThis flavorful, fragrant curry is a hearty comfort food. It makes a great meal all year round, but it's particularly wonderful on chilly nights when you want to enjoy a hearty bowl of something steaming. Pork and vegetables make up the recipe's foundation, but the flavor is truly elevated by Asian-inspired flavors like red miso, fresh ginger, and curry. Serve it over sticky Japanese rice for a one-bowl meal, or accompany it with a fresh salad or pickled vegetables. ## Japanese Curry Roux This recipe calls for Japanese brick curry, which can typically be found at most grocery stores or specialty Asian grocery stores. It's very easy to use — simply add it to your dish for that delicious curry flavor. These bricks are available in a hot, medium, or mild options. ## Japanese Curry Vs Indian Or Thai Curry You may be curious to know how Japanese curry is different from Indian curry. This classic Japanese food is thicker and has a milder flavor than other types, and is often made with curry roux or a curry sauce mix, as mentioned above. Many Indian and Thai curries are made with coconut milk and curry powder and other spices, instead of a curry brick. Many Japanese curries occasionally incorporate other ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or tomato paste to deepen the flavor, but you can always opt to omit them, as this recipe suggests. ## Variations _Bread your pork:_ Breaded pork cutlets with curry sauce is very popular among Japanese cuisine. To try this option, coat your pork in panko breadcrumbs and fry it, before slathering in curry sauce and combining with the vegetables. _Serve over noodles instead of rice:_ If you don't like rice, you can top udon noodles, soba noodles, or rice noodles with your curry. Add a splash of soy sauce to for a bit of umami flavor to your bowl. _Use chicken breasts, steak or seafood instead of pork:_ Instead of pork, feel free to try a different type of protein, or even use vegetables like butternut squash or sweet potatoes. Just be sure to chop whatever protein or vegetables you use into bite-sized pieces. ## Make-Ahead Meal The total time to make this Japanese-style curry is less than an hour, making it easy to put together any night of the week. You can also choose to meal prep this dish over the weekend, and enjoy it all week long. The curry can be refrigerated for up to five days or frozen for up to three months.Food52If I had to have my last meal on earth I would hope it’s ramen. Living in Asia I’m very lucky to have tasted some of the best ramen in Bangkok, owned by long standing ramen chefs from Japan. In Japan ramen is almost an art form. Chefs train for many years to perfect this nutritious noodle soup and pride themselves on their masterpieces. The reason I love this dish is because it is highly versatile, it’s great for winter or summer, it’s packed with nutrients, great for people with sensitive stomaches such as colonic inertia, also vegans, people with high intolerances to certain foods, or if you have a major cold, this will do the trick for comfort. This recipes is more or less my interpretation of ramen and I have to say it’s blooming tasty.Food.comThis is a super easy Japanese dish. “Don” is an abbreviation of “Donburi” and means a bowl of rice with food on top. Shiitake mushrooms lower cholesterol and prevent high blood pressure and cancer. To make it healthy, I suggest using cooked quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice.

And so this recipe was born. The secret to making non-greasy fried foods is to use the right type of oil and to be sure the oil is hot enough. If you do this, the food is cooked quickly and very little oil is absorbed. The easiest way to assure this is to use a deep fat thermometer. Also, you need to use the right type of oil. Select an oil that has a high smoking point. A high smoke point is important because heating oil to the point that it smokes is what makes frying unhealthy. When the oil begins to smoke, it produces toxic fumes and harmful free radicals. We don’t want free radicals, no political pun intended. I use grape seed oil which has a smoke point of 420 degrees and a neutral flavor. Don’t use extra virgin olive oil which has a smoke point of 320 degrees. You can also use canola oil (smoke point 400 degrees) or peanut oil (smoke point 440 degrees). The other trick to making this into a dish that no one can resist is to be sure to use Panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are a Japanese style breadcrumbs made from crustless bread. The crustless bread is roughly ground into large flakes, which stay crisper longer because they don’t absorb as much oil. This is the other secret to non-greasy fried food. If you use regular breadcrumbs, you won’t get crispy ravioli. I serve these with a homemade tomato sauce (see the recipe below) but you can use a store bought marinara sauce or even a chunky blue cheese or ranch salad dressing. I tasted this recipe using giant ravioli from Costco and gourmet ravioli from a fancier store. The Costco ravioli are hands down the best! Even the next day or as a midnight snack, these are delicious. Someone I know, but I’m not naming names, even scarfed these cold.Food.comDH and I really enjoyed this different way of preparing salmon. From Keiko O Aoki's "Easy and Healthy Japanese Food for the American Kitchen." It should be noted that DH and I skinned the salmon filets and it turned out great, but I am posting the recipe as it appears in the book. Also, make sure to use low sodium soy sauce. Even with this, I found the dish to be a little salty and might skip the teaspoon of salt next time to see how it turns out.Food52There is something very meditative about eating a meal out of one big bowl. All of the colors and flavors mix together and create different bites each time you dig in. In this particular Japanese dish, “don” which literally translates to “bowl”, there are countless variations. The meat of this big ol’ bowl of food would be the mung bean. High in protein, fiber, and very easy to digest, mung beans have been used in Ayurvedic cooking and ancient Chinese medicine for centuries. There are a few steps of prep involved here, but this recipe will yield a few days worth of meals that you can add to and tweak depending on what you feel. Donburi would also be great for a dinner party. Set out all of the different components and have everyone create their own.
