This is the beginning of my cooking series. The curry recipe has been refined by me over the years and is often my go to choice when I don’t have a lot of time to cook.

Ingredients

  1. White rice (Any amount)
  2. Beef flank plate (500g)
  3. Carrot
  4. Potato (1:1 Ratio to carrot)
  5. Red onion (1/500g beef)
  6. Cooking wine (5mL Ethanol/100g beef)
  7. Japanese Curry blocks (1/500g beef)
  8. Cooking oil
  9. Spam (Optional)

My personal preference is to have 1:1 ratio between rice and the beef/carrot/potato mix. The amount shown above is 3 servings.

Tools

  1. Pressure cooker
  2. Pan
  3. Pot

Steps

  1. Put the beef flank plate in cold water sufficient to immerse it and bring the water to a boil. (5 minutes)
  2. Scrape off the surface residue. This is the blood from the beef.
  3. Prepare a pressure cooker and put the cooking wine and beef in.
  4. Cook the beef in high pressure setting. The longer this cooks the softer the beef. (30-60 minutes)
  5. Cut carrot and potato into chunks. Cut red onion into rings.
  6. Put the carrot, potato, and onions into the pressure cooker and cook at high pressure with the beef (15 minutes)
  7. Put equal weight of curry blocks and oil in a pan and cook on medium heat until 50% of the curry melts (3 minutes)
  8. Decant off all of the water from the pressure cooker. (Optionally, retain some water and mix with the curry)
  9. Pour the contents of the pressure cooker into the pan with curry. Add the optional spam.
  10. Mix on medium heat (5 minutes)

Meanwhile, cook white rice in a rice cooker. Serve hot.
