Japanese Curry Rice Recipe (video)

February 8, 2010
Japanese Curry Rice from Scratch

One of the great things about cooking without recipes is it leaves you free to add different ingredients and experiment, this keeps an old favourite new and interesting even after you’ve had it for the umpteenth time. Some might call this inconsistency, but for me there’s no such thing as a “best recipe”, because my [...]

I made this Korean/Japanese hybrid for the WBC championship game a few weeks ago. Yakitori is traditionally a Japanese dish, but these chicken skewers were marinated in a sweet garlicky bulgogi marinade, making them somewhat Korean. While the yakitori would be delicious as an appetizer or with a bowl of hot rice, I took the [...]

When I was little, I had a very active imagination and instead of practicing my cursive or memorizing times tables, I’d often doze off, letting my day dreams pull me down the rows of faux wood desks and out of the pale green classroom. To this day, my cursive is atrocious and my ability to [...]

After a brief hiatus from Japanese food I’m back with some izakaya food. Izakayas are bars that in addition to the usual lineup of sakes, shochus and beers, have an eclectic menu of bar foods. They’re the kind of places Japanese salary-men hit up après-work to get hammered and fed. The menus are generally large [...]

When the urge hits, I’ll even tuck into a bucket of the Colonel’s Original Recipe to get my fix. I’m a fried chicken whore though and my [...]

Tender chicken paprikash stewed with onion, peppers, and Hungarian Paprika, served over a bed of nokedli dumplings.
I love a thick hearty gulyás or a link of kolbász with székelykáposzta and have at times wondered if I may have been Hungarian in a past life. Or perhaps it’s just the convivial familiarity stemming from linguistic similarities [...]

After the Saturday night shindig, I was left with an open bottle of southern French red wine (a Grenache, Syrah blend). While it was a great sipping wine, full of dark fruit notes, I also had about six pounds of chicken parts taking up room in the freezer. It didn’t take an English -> French [...]

While most often associated with northern Indian cuisine, Biryani is a dish with Persian origins found in various forms from Iraq to Thailand. As you might imagine, there is a huge variety of different preparations stemming from the vast swath of land it calls home. Common elements include some type of meat (goat, lamb or [...]
