			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, tonight I thought I&#8217;d try to make Japanese Curry for dinner. <a title="Chris Hamby's Blog" href="http://kylelibra.com/hambyblog/" target="_blank">Chris Hamby</a> had taught me how to make Japanese Curry when I visited him in Nagoya, Japan a month ago. This is my first attempt at making it all by myself&#8230; yikes&#8230; this could be bad!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20 colorbox-9" title="Curry8" src="http://www.mattsinchina.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Curry8.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="239" /></p>
<h2>The Ingredients</h2>
<p>First, note that everyone does curry a little differently, and these ingredients are only suggestions. Go to your local grocery and find the produce sections (it&#8217;s the section with a bunch of green stuff)! Then, grab any and all veggies that look yummy, and put them in your cart.</p>
<p>Ok, this is how I made my curry:</p>
<ul>
<li>1.68 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast &#8211; that is what I found, but I think anywhere from 1 to 2 lbs would work (you could also use beef, lamb, or shrimp&#8230; or not use meat at all).</li>
<li>2 bricks of curry sauce mix (I found this at an Asian Market). Apparently, it is best to mix two different brands (maybe House and S&amp;B&#8230;).</li>
<li>1 yellow onion (or 2) &#8211; chopped</li>
<li>6 good sized carrots (or more) &#8211; chopped</li>
<li>4 red potatoes (I should have added a few more) &#8211; chopped</li>
<li>6 stalks of celery &#8211; chopped</li>
<li>Some mushrooms &#8211; sliced</li>
<li>Some cooking oil</li>
<li>Some water (maybe 6 cups &#8211; I just filled the pot up till it was full&#8230;)</li>
<li>Rice (and lots of it)</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Directions</h2>
<ol>
<li>Cut the chicken into cubes and chop the onions.</li>
<li>Stir-fry the chicken and onions in oil in a large (5qt +) pot. You might want to add some minced garlic too (I just forgot to buy garlic). Do this till the chicken is white throughout.</li>
<li>Add any other veggies &#8211; I added chopped carrots, celery, potatoes, and mushrooms.</li>
<li>Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer approximately 15 minutes.</li>
<li>While it is simmering, I suggest you put your rice in the rice cooker.</li>
<li>Add the curry sauce bricks to the pot (try to break them apart before tossing them in). Stir constantly until they are completely melted. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes.</li>
<li>That&#8217;s it&#8230; just serve it over rice.</li>
</ol>
