Have you ever been inspired to try a dish after seeing it on TV or in a movie? For me, that dish was Japanese curry. I first saw it in an anime and was immediately intrigued. When I finally got the chance to try it at this Japanese hole-in-the-wall restaurant back in Daly City, it exceeded all my expectations. The rich and flavorful broth, combined with the fluffy rice, created a perfect balance of flavors in my mouth.
When I visited Japan, It was one of the dishes that I definitely wanted to try (along with ramen, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and sushi, or course!). I also was very lucky to try a delicious homemade version made by Haruko Obaasan, my father-in-law's mom. From those experiences and memories, here is my very own healthier take on the classic Japanese Curry. We love to enjoy this with rice, or if I have some puff pastry, I make Kare Pan (curry bread) with the leftovers. This dish has become one of the rotating dishes in our home and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
