Japanese Chicken Curry

Japanese Chicken Curry


1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

2. Add the chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and let the chicken brown undisturbed (about 5 minutes).

3. Turn chicken and brown the other side. Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the onions, stirring for 1-2 minutes to coat with the oil.

5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely caramelized and almost a paste - roughly 30 minutes.

6. Raise the heat to medium high and add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Saute 1-2 minutes, until very fragrant.

7. Return the chicken to the pot and add the stock, vegetables, pear, Chunou sauce, tomato paste, cocoa powder, and salt.

8. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for 35 minutes.

9. Make a roux by melting the butter in a saucepan and adding the flour. Cook, stirring with a spatula, until the roux is a light brown color. Stir into the curry.

10. Adjust salt to taste.

11. Serve with hot rice on the side.
