Introducing a healthy no-water curry recipe where the umami of vegetables is intensely concentrated. Grating the vegetables brings out their natural deliciousness. Using thick-cut pork shoulder loin for tonkatsu creates a deeply flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork Shoulder Loin for Tonkatsu: 2 slices
  • Finely Chopped Onion: 1/2
  • Tomatoes: 2
  • Daikon Radish: 150g
  • Warm Cooked Rice: for serving

Seasonings

  • Grated Garlic: 1 clove
  • Grated Ginger: 1 clove
  • Cooking Sake (Rice Wine): 2 tbsp
  • Curry Powder: 2 tbsp
  • Worcestershire Sauce: 2 tbsp
  • Salt: to taste
  • Coarsely Ground Black Pepper: to taste
  • Sugar: 2 tsp
  • Butter: 10g

Steps

  1. Finely chop 1/2 onion.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté the finely chopped 1/2 onion until nicely browned.
  3. Cut 2 slices of pork shoulder loin for tonkatsu into bite-sized pieces and lightly season with salt to taste.
  4. Add grated garlic (1 clove) and grated ginger (1 clove) to the sautéed onion and mix briefly.
  5. Add the seasoned 2 slices of pork shoulder loin for tonkatsu to the pot, mix to coat with onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry until the meat changes color.
  6. Add 2 tbsp curry powder, mix to coat the pork, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  7. Add 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and mix to loosen the pork.
  8. Grate 2 tomatoes.
  9. Grate 150g daikon radish. This is the key! Adding daikon radish eliminates the pork's gamey odor and improves its texture.
  10. Add the grated 2 tomatoes and 150g daikon radish to the pot and mix well.
  11. Add 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tsp sugar, and salt to taste, then mix thoroughly. This is the key! A stronger saltiness brings out the umami of the vegetables and spices.
  12. Simmer until thickened.
  13. Turn off the heat, add 10g butter, stir until melted, and mix everything together.
  14. Serve the curry over a portion of warm cooked rice in a bowl.
  15. Sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper to taste, if desired, and serve.
