Cooking tips

  • Potatoes can make the broth murky and alter the taste over time, so it's best to omit them when making a large batch of curry to be stored for a long time.
  • Pork hind leg can be tough due to its lean meat content. Cut it into large pieces and simmer for at least 25 minutes to achieve a tender, soup-like texture.
  • The key to a deep, savory flavor is to stir-fry the meat and onions until they are almost burnt, achieving a deep brown (caramelized) color.
  • Ketchup adds acidity from tomatoes and umami, recreating the rich flavor of high-quality Japanese-style curry.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a deeply flavored curry comparable to professional restaurants using inexpensive pork hind leg.
  • Those who want a curry that remains delicious for several days without becoming murky.
  • Those who enjoy curry with plenty of meat, offering a satisfying chew and juicy texture.
