  • START. When cooking is completed, warming will start. Fluff up the rice with a rice scooper. Tip: Adjust cooking time and water according to personal taste.

Curry

  • Gather all the ingredients. Once we start cooking, we don't have time to measure, so make sure to prepare the seasonings ahead of time.
  • Pat dry the chicken with paper towel to remove any moisture. Season the chicken with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Heat a crock pot and add oil. Brown the chicken, skin side down, for 5 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Don’t crowd the pot and brown the chicken in batches, if necessary.
  • After the bottom side is nicely brown, flip to cook the other side. Then transfer the chicken to a plate and continue with the next batch. Set aside.
  • Add the diced onion and 1 Tbsp unsalted butter. Sauté until translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and mix all together.
  • Add Japanese curry roux, Curry powder, and Garam masala. Give it a quick stir.
  • Add Tomato paste and sauté until fragrant.
  • Add Honey and Mango chutney and mix all together.
  • Gradually add half the chicken broth, scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Transfer the chicken back to the pot.
  • Add the carrots, shimeji mushrooms, and the rest of chicken broth.
  • Add Dry basil and Bay leaf. Gently mix all together.
  • Add other vegetables.
  • Bring to a boil. Lower heat and close the lid. Cook for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked is done, add soy sauce. Taste and adjust the flavor.
  • Serve the steamed rice in a small bowl or plate and the soup curry in a bowl. When you eat, pick up some rice with a spoon, and scoop soup curry. Enjoy!
