Notes

  • Omit chicken or replace with any other protein of choice!
  • Potatoes and carrots are usually used in Japanese curry, but you can use any other vegetables you like instead. Zucchini, pumpkin, sweet potato or mushrooms would be good for this dish too.
  • If serving curry with noodles like udon, you can thin out the curry with water or vegetable stock to make it a soupy noodle dish instead!
