Pork Curry is a comforting Japanese dish featuring tender pieces of pork simmered in a rich, mildly spiced curry sauce. Unlike Indian curries, Japanese curry is thicker, slightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with steamed rice. It’s a popular home-cooked meal across Japan and often prepared in large batches for the whole family.

Ingredients

• 400 g pork shoulder or belly, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 onions, sliced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 potatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cups water
• 1 package Japanese curry roux (medium-hot or your preferred spice level)
• Steamed rice, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté pork until lightly browned.
2. Add onions, carrots, and potatoes, and cook until slightly softened.
3. Pour in water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until ingredients are tender.
4. Break curry roux into pieces and stir into the pot. Simmer until thickened.
5. Serve hot over steamed rice.

Tips

• Use pork belly for a richer flavor or lean pork shoulder for a lighter taste.
• Add apple or honey for extra sweetness and depth.
• For a healthier version, substitute brown rice or barley rice.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with pickled red ginger (beni shoga) or fukujinzuke on the side.
• Pair with a simple green salad or onion slices for freshness.
• Enjoy with miso soup for a complete Japanese-style meal.
