Dry Curry

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 2 onions minced
  • 2 carrots minced
  • 2 bell peppers minced
  • 2 portobello mushroom caps minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 5 tablespoons "S&B" curry powder or to taste (oriental curry powder)
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • 2 tablespoons "Bull-Dog" sauce (Japanese tonkatsu sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • steamed white rice for serving
  • 4 eggs for fried egg topping (optional)
  • fresh parsley leaves chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Start cooking the steamed white rice.
  • Heat a dutch oven or a large sauté pan with vegetable oil on medium-low heat.
  • Add the minced vegetables (garlic, ginger, onions, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms). When the vegetables become soft, add the ground meat and stir.
  • When the meat turns light brown, add salt, pepper and curry powder. Don't make it too salty at this point, since we will be adding the bouillon and sauce next.
  • Break up the bouillon cube by hand and add to the pot. Add bulldog sauce and soy sauce. Don't make it too salty at this point yet either, since boiling off the liquid will make it slightly saltier. Once it comes to a boil, turn heat to low.
  • Simmer uncovered until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 30 minutes. Stir periodically.
  • Salt to taste.

For the fried egg

  • Crack the eggs into small individual bowls for each egg.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable cooking oil in a frying pan or wok with a lid over medium-high heat. Make sure you have the lid ready since the hot oil will splatter a lot when you add the egg.
  • When the oil is hot, gently drop a cracked egg into the pan and place the lid over the pan immediately. Lift the lid slightly and splash some hot oil on top of the egg with a wooden spatula to get the egg whites to crisp a little. Put the lid back on and cook the egg for 30 seconds or so. Take the egg out using a slotted spatula just before the egg reaches desired hardness since the egg will continue to cook a little bit after you take it out of the pan.

To serve

  • Serve the dry curry hot over steamed white rice. Place the fried egg on top of the dry curry, and garnish with chopped parsley.
