Beef miso curry recipe

Meet my newest curry conquest; a Japanese beef miso curry recipe that’s a little sweet, sour and savory, and lighter in texture than your classic Japanese curry rice. This was an interesting experiment since I usually purchase House’s pre-made sauce mix whenever I cook Japanese curry. But this is the first time I am making a Japanese style curry from scratch!

I adapted this curry recipe from Tadashi Ono‘s Japanese Soul Cooking cookbook and simplified it since the list of ingredients was quite overwhelming despite its delicious taste! Curry is one of those dishes that taste better the next day so make sure to save yourself a bowl for tomorrow’s lunch or dinner time. Also, if you can find fukujin zuke (Japanese red pickles), add a small spoonful before serving, they add a crunch a slight acidity to the curry (this is the traditional way of eating it in Japan.)

Other curry recipes I love making: vegetarian Thai curry, kheema curry, vindaloo curry, jungle curry .
