JAPANESE-STYLE CURRY (KAREI RAISU)

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until the butter melts and bubbles. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's translucent and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the pieces are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
• Add potatoes and carrots, stir well, and add 7 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, skim off any froth that appears on the surface, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender, about 1 hour. Add the curry paste and salt and continue cooking, stirring and scraping the bottom frequently, for 15 minutes more. To store, cool to room temperature and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Divide the rice among shallow bowls, spoon on the curry, and serve immediately.

MOM'S PORK CURRY JAPANESE-STYLE

Steps:

• Saute meat until lightly browned in lightly oiled pan. Add onions and celery, cook until translucent. Transfer to large soup pot, add stock or water. If you use water, you may want to add base or bullion to taste. Add bay leaf, potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add salt if needed to taste. Thicken with roux made with butter, oil, and flour. Add curry powder to taste (I use S&B brand from Japan, 6 - 8 tbsp makes it nice and hot). You may toast the curry powder slightly in a small dry skillet before you add it to bring out the aroma. Serve on or beside steamed white rice (I like Botan -short grain Japanese rice), and add soy sauce to taste at the table.
