Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups daikon radish, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 3.5 ounces Japanese curry roux blocks
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat and allow it to warm for about one minute.
- In a bowl, lightly season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Add vegetable oil to the pot. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned.
- Stir in daikon radish, cauliflower, and carrots. Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender. Break the curry roux into pieces and stir until fully dissolved. Simmer another 10 minutes until thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the curry rest for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Spoon hot curry over freshly cooked white rice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of warm broth.
- Allow the curry to rest before serving for deeper flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
