[Recipe] Japanese Hamburg Curry

Ahhh all this talk about food has inspired me today.
It seems like it has been forever since I cooked any Japanese food.
So I decided to make my own version of the ever famous curry rice (カレーライス) with a twist. :D

Japanese Hamburg Curry

Japanese Curry

Ingredients: 

• 2 medium carrots chopped
• 2 medium potatoes chopped
• 1 large onion quartered

• Oil

Method:

Step1

1. In a medium pot stir fry in 1 tablespoon of oil, the onion, carrots and potatoes until lightly browned. 
2. Add water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and break Japanese curry mix into pieces and add. Stir until completely emulsified. 



Step 3

4. When sauce has thickened remove from heat, cover and set aside.

*For this recipe you can use any brand of Japanese curry mix you like. For this recipe I chose to use S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix.

Hamburg Steak

Ingredients: 

• 200g beef mince
• 1 onion finely chopped
• coriander (optional)
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 table spoons milk
• 1 cup water
• Oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Method:

Step 3

1. In a nonstick fry pan, stir fry the finely chopped onion until lightly brown. Put to the side and allow to cool.
2. Combine breadcrumbs and milk.
3. In a large bowl combine mince, chopped coriander, egg, breadcrumbs and milk mixture, oil, cooled onion mix, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly till all ingredients have been mixed evenly. Divide mixture into 2.
   
   
4. Place a small amount of oil onto your hands and take half of the mixture. Using both your hands shape the mixture into steaks. Make a shallow indent in the middle of each steak, this ensures that the steak cooks thoroughly and quickly. 

   

   Step 4

5. In a nonstick fry pan, fry each steak until brown for about 2-3min per side. Once both sides have been browned, pour water into the fry pan and cover. This process will ensure that the steak remains moist and also slightly steams them. Once water has reduced and steaks resume frying in oil remove from pan and place onto a plate covered with kitchen paper. 
6. Serve hamburg and curry with a side of rice. Enjoy

So here is my version of Japanese Hamburg Curry
