Steps
- 01
Cut onions into wedges and carrots into bite-size pieces. Quarter and soak potatoes for 15 minutes. Grate or mince ginger, garlic and apple.
- 02
Cut 680 g chicken into bite-size pieces and sprinkle with pepper. Separate raw chicken utensils from those for ready-to-eat foods.
- 03
Heat 1.5 Tbsp oil in a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and ginger.
- 04
Add chicken and stir until opaque on the outside; it is not fully cooked yet.
- 05
Add 960 mL stock, grated apple, 1 Tbsp each of honey, soy sauce and ketchup, and the carrots and potatoes; bring to a simmer.
- 06
Skim foam and simmer covered over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Continue until carrot and potato are tender.
- 07
Turn off the heat and dissolve 200–230 g curry roux gradually in hot cooking liquid; mix evenly.
- 08
Simmer uncovered for 5–10 more minutes until thick. Verify the thickest chicken piece reaches at least 74°C internally.
- 09
Serve with eight portions of rice and optional fukujinzuke. Refrigerate leftover curry within two hours.

Cook chicken to at least 74°C at the thickest point and avoid raw-chicken cross-contamination. Check curry roux and soy sauce for wheat, soy and milk. Refrigerate within two hours at ≤4°C, consume within three days and reheat leftovers to ≥74°C.
