Japanese Curry
"Rich, thick, and mildly sweet — Japanese curry is nothing like Indian curry and everything like a warm hug. Costco Japan sells it as a ready-to-eat meal. Make a big pot with Costco chicken and rice and feed the whole family."

The Game Plan
-
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
-
In the same pot, cook onion 5 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize. Add carrots and potatoes, stir for 2 minutes.
-
Add water, soy sauce, and chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.
-
Turn off heat. Break curry roux into pieces and stir into the pot until fully dissolved. Add honey if using.
-
Return to low heat and simmer 5 more minutes, stirring often, until sauce is thick and glossy.
-
Serve over rice with fukujinzuke on the side.
