Japanese Curry Rice with Sliced Pork

Yields6 ServingsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr

Curry rice is one of the most popular dishes in Japan, and I add garlic, honey and grated apple to make it rich and sweet. I use bouquet garni for removing the smell of pork. The balanced taste of sweetness and hot is good, but you can adjust the spiciness for you.
