This recipe shows how to make basic Japanese curry rice by using the curry sauce mix. It's very simple and easy to cook! Japanese curry is very healthy because of a lot of vegetables such as potatoes, onions and carrots. I use the Vermont curry roux box which is one of the most popular curry roux in Japan. You can use chunks of pork, chicken and beef instead of the sliced pork!
