I figured I would make a curry flavored niku jaga with pork, taro potatoes, and shimeji mushrooms etc., but I changed my mind, and made Japanese-style curry . This is superb if you eat it while breaking apart large taro potatoes. I am really happy with how thus turned out.

Using konbu seaweed broth works really well for the soup stock. The burdock root also produced a nice aroma for the broth . Burdock root+taro potatoes+shimeji mushrooms+pork etc. is a good combination, and are indispensable ingredients. For 9 servings. Recipe by Okaraseijin

Ingredients

9 servings
  1. 400 gramsThinly sliced pork
  2. 14Taro root
  3. 2Washed burdock root (about 40 cm)
  4. 1Carrot
  5. 2 mediumOnion
  6. 3Fresh shiitake mushrooms
  7. 1packet Shimeji mushrooms
  8. 2 tbspSesame oil
  9. 1 packagesMedium spicy curry roux
  10. 1200 mlWater or kombu based dashi stock

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the taro potatoes well, peel with a peeler, and leave round. Cut the washed burdock root into chunks and place in water. Cut the carrots and onions into large chunks, and break apart the shimeji and fresh shiitake mushrooms by hand.

  2. 2

    Heat up a pot, sauté the pork first in the sesame oil, and then the onions and carrots.

  3. 3

    Add in the water-soaked burdock root and taro potatoes and sauté, adding in the mushrooms as well.

  4. 4

    Add in water, bring to a boil, and cleanly skim out the scum. This is a Japanese-style curry, so you can use broth from something you cooked the other day to make a good soup stock. This time, I used 700ml of broth and 500ml of water. Cover with a lid and boil over a low heat for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    It's good to go if the taro potatoes aren't falling apart, and you can cleanly stick them with a toothpick. Dissolve the roux, simmer for about 10 minutes, and it's done.
