Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp ginger minced
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped (optional)
- 1 large egg plant or 4 Japanese eggplants, 1" cubed
- 4 cups water
- 4 oz Japanese curry mix
- 4 servings Steamed Rice
Optional Seasonings
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Worcester sauce
- 1 Tbsp apricot jam
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp curry powder
Instructions
- Heat oil, ginger, and garlic in a large pot. Add meat and cook until browned, then add onion (and carrot if using) and cook until soft. Finally add cubed eggplant and stir.
- Add water to the pot. After it boils, skim any fat, and reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add curry sauce mix. Stir well so the pieces of the mix dissolve.
- If you'd like to use the optional seasonings above, now add the ketchup, Worcester sauce, apricot jam, and soy sauce. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes (cook longer if you'd like it thicker).
- If you'd like to add the optional curry powder, stir it in just before serving.
- Serve the curry poured over rice.
