Dissolve the curry cubes off the heat, and only then return the pot to low heat—this helps them blend in without sticking or overcooking.

Steps

1. Prepare the ingredients10 min

3. Cook the vegetables15 min
Add the potato, carrot, and water; bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F), about 15 minutes.
4. Dissolve the roux3 min
Remove from heat, add the Japanese curry cubes, and stir until they are completely dissolved.
5. Thicken5 min
Return to low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
6. Serve1 min
Serve over hot white rice.

Substitutions & variations

Would you prefer a vegetarian version? Omit the chicken and use more potatoes and carrots, or add mushrooms.
If you don't have curry cubes, you can substitute them by mixing curry powder with wheat flour and butter (or oil) to achieve the same thick consistency.
