IZAKAYA SAKURA KURO CURRY (BLACK CURRY)

The curry normally would be served over tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlets) but can be served over grilled vegetables or just straight over cooked rice. The curry can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving. Vegetarians can omit the port butt cubes and still have a very delicious meal.

Time 2h39m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon oil
1 lb pork butt, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
salt & freshly ground black pepper, as needed
4 medium onions, sliced thin
1 1/2 cups red wine
2 1/2 cups water or 2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
2 carrots, cut 1/2 inch cubes
2 large yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons kosher salt (use less if you use regular salt)
1 tablespoon Tonkatsu sauce or 1 tablespoon Heinz 57 steak sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon black garlic oil (Mayu)
1/2 cup peas
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (good quality)
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons curry powder (S&B Japanese Curry Powder recommended) or 2 tablespoons garam masala
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper (more or less depending on how spicy you want it)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat.
  • Salt and pepper the pork cubes then add to the pan in a single layer. Let the meat brown on one side, then use tongs or chopsticks to flip them over and brown the other side. Transfer the pork to a bowl and turn the heat down to medium low.
  • Add the onions and cover with a lid for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue caramelizing the onions until they are dark brown and glossy (about 1 hour). Stir occasionally.
  • Add the browned pork, wine, water, carrots, potatoes, salt, tonkatsu sauce, tomato paste, applesauce, and black garlic oil then bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat down to medium low and simmer partially covered until the carrots are tender (about 45 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, make the roux by melting the butter over medium low heat. Add the flour, stirring while cooking until the mixtures turns a golden brown. Add the curry powder and black pepper and stir to incorporate (it will turn into a paste). Remove from the heat and set aside until the carrots are tender.
  • Make a batch of tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlets) or grill some vegetables to serve the curry sauce on.
  • Finish the curry by ladling some of the liquid the meat and veggies have been cooking in into the roux and whisk until there are no lumps. Pour this mixture back into the other pot and gently stir until the curry is thickened. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. When you're happy with it, add the peas and chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted and incorporated.
  • Slice the tonkatsu or portion the grilled vegetables and plate along with some cooked rice. Pour the sauce all over the plated food and serve.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups brown rice
2 large ripe avocados
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package beech mushrooms
1 bunch broccoli rabe
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 lb medium firm tofu or 1 lb firm tofu
4 tablespoons cornstarch or 4 tablespoons flour, as needed
oil, as needed (for frying)
sesame seeds (garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice in a pot or rice cooker, per directions on the package. Remove from rice cooker and layer on flat baking sheet. Cover and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Remove rice from refrigerator and scoop into large bowl. Set aside to return to room temperature. Keep covered.
  • Mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, fill with ice and water. Set aside. Drain the tofu.
  • In a hot skillet, toast the sesame seeds and set aside. Start a large saucepan filled with heavily salted water to a rolling boil.
  • Trim the bottoms of the mushrooms clusters and separate. Saute the mushrooms in 2 tbsp of sesame oil, salt to taste. Stir occasionally until mushrooms are well browned. Remove from heat.
  • While mushrooms are sauteing, cut broccoli into bite sized pieces and blanch in the hot salted water. Shock broccoli in ice water. Gently wring to dry, then mix with 1 tsp sesame oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Cut the tofu into 4 large triangles or cubes as desired. Roll the tofu in the cornstarch or flour.
  • Heat large pan and add oil for deep frying. When the oil is heated to at least 350 degrees F, carefully add 2 tofu pieces into the pan.
  • Fry, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining tofu.
  • Shake the dressing vigorously and mix about half into the rice. Add more to taste. The rice should be well-coated but not sopping wet. Fold in the toasted sesame seeds.
  • Spoon out the avocados and cut into 1/2 inch chunks. Season with salt.
  • Fold the diced avocados into the rice and transfer the rice into serving bowls. Top with broccoli rabe, beech mushrooms and deep fried tofu. Garnish with additional untoasted sesame seeds.
