Yield Serves 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
One 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut up
1 cup thinly sliced shallots
3 tablespoons yellow curry paste or 1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 all-purpose potatoes, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil and add the chicken pieces skin side down, spreading them in the wok. Cook undisturbed 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat between medium and medium-high as the chicken browns. Then, using a metal spatula, turn the chicken over and pan-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until the chicken is browned on the other side but not cooked through. Remove to a plate, leaving the pan drippings.
  • 2. Add the shallots to the pan drippings, and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until just softened. Add the curry paste or powder and cook, stirring, 30 seconds or until fragrant. (With curry paste, the drippings may spatter a little; with curry powder, the ingredients become dry and the pan may begin to smoke.)
  • 3. Return the chicken to the wok and stir until well combined with shallots. Add the coconut milk and broth and bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. Turn the chicken and simmer 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

ONE-POT JAPANESE CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE



One-Pot Japanese Curry Chicken and Rice image

Usually milder and sweeter than Indian curries, classic Japanese curry is a thick beef-and-vegetable stew served over rice. This recipe is not a traditional one, but rather an easy weeknight version, a one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, vegetables and rice. Instead of relying on store-bought or homemade instant curry roux, this dish relies on a few spices to mimic traditional Japanese curry flavors. Curry powder, ground nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce are combined and bloomed in butter to create the round and rich sauce. Onions, potatoes and carrots create the bulk of traditional Japanese curry, but sweet potatoes, cauliflower and peas would be great substitutions or additions. Serve the meal with any type of pickle you have on hand for a vinegary hit to contrast the rich curry.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 large thighs)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped white or yellow onion
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 large baking potato (about 1 pound), such as russets, white or Idaho, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1 1/2 cups)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Chopped scallions, pickles, kimchi and/or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium until butter is melted. Working in two batches, brown chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side, and transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion to the pot, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Add curry powder, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and stir until butter is melted and spices are fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add rinsed rice and stir until evenly coated in spices. Add potato, carrots, broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping bottom of pot to lift up any browned bits. Season broth generously with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken (and any accumulated juices) on top, skin-side up, and bring to a boil over high. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and chicken is golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Divide chicken and rice among bowls, and garnish with scallions. Serve with any combination of pickles, kimchi and hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality curry paste. This is the base of your curry, so it's important to choose one that you like the taste of. There are many different brands and flavors of curry paste available, so experiment until you find one that you enjoy.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level. Most curry pastes come in a variety of heat levels, from mild to hot. Choose a paste that is appropriate for your taste buds, and then adjust the heat level by adding more or less chili peppers.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your curry the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, frozen or canned ingredients are also acceptable.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok. When you're cooking the curry, it's important to not overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite sides. Curry is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, noodles, roti, and vegetables.
