Restaurant-level Japanese curry with rice

Sweet, savoury, and spicy, this is the Japanese curry recipe that kickstarted Harvard Wong's cookbook.

Written by Harvard Wong

This is the Japanese curry recipe that kickstarted my cookbook, Soy sauce, sugar, mirin. Curry was introduced to Japan by the British Royal Navy towards the end of the 19th century. It has since been adopted by housewives in Japan into this sweet, savoury, spicy concoction and become a truly 'Japanese' dish. I like it because there aren't any hard and fast rules - as long as you enjoy it.
