Cooking Adventures: Chicken Curry Rice!

Hello Everyone!

Chicken curry is one of my favorite foods, and it's super easy to make!  In this tutorial, I'll be making the Japanese style curry using curry blocks.  

For this recipe you'll need:
A package of ground chicken (or beef, pork, whatever you like)

About half of a large onion

Garlic Powder (or minced garlic, which I prefer, but didn't have at the time)

One package of curry blocks.  I love the S&B mild sauce.  It's so super delicious!

You'll also need rice, salt, and pepper.

First, make your rice according to the directions on the package:

While your rice is going, chop your onion into small pieces.  If you like your curry chunkier, bigger pieces is fine.  Smaller pieces cook faster though.

Next, put a little over a teaspoon of olive or vegetable oil in a large skillet.
Swirl the pan to coat.

Now throw in your onions!
And add your minced garlic or garlic powder to the mix.  I add a lot because I love garlic!

Now you need to saute this for 10 to 15 minutes over medium-high heat until the onions become somewhat translucent.  I know, it's a long time to push onions around in oil, but it's so worth it!  It allows the flavor to be absorbed by the meat and the curry better.

DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF YOUR RICE WHEN TIME IS UP.  Leave the lid on until the curry is ready.

When your onions look something like this, it's time to add in the chicken!

Whee!

Break up the chicken into very small pieces as it cooks.

When almost all of the pink is gone from your chicken:
Like this

Add about two cups of water to the pan, and turn the heat to medium-low.

Take out your curry blocks

And chop 'em up!

When the water in the pan has reduced, and it starts to boil around the edges like this:

Add in the curry blocks and melt them into the mixture

Let the mixture simmer, some more, and stir constantly, you don't want the curry to burn!  When it is thick and shiny like this:

It's ready!

Lay out some of your rice in a bowl

And pour some of your curry on top of it

Dig in y'all!  

I hope y'all enjoyed this cooking adventure, and if there are any other recipes y'all want to see, let me know!

Enjoy your curry! ^--^
