Ingredients

  • 200 grams Mixed ground beef and pork
  • 1 Onion
  • 3 Eggplant - small Japanese type
  • 1 Carrot
  • 20 grams Butter
  • 1 tsp Garlic (grated)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
  • 1 Salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp Curry powder
  • 1/2 can Canned whole tomatoes
  • 1 Soup stock cube
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 as much as you want Hot cooked rice

Method

  • Finely chop the onion.
  • Dice the eggplant and carrots to 1 cm.
  • Grate the garlic and ginger.
  • (You can use garlic and ginger paste from a tube).
  • Heat butter, garlic and ginger over medium heat.
  • When fragrant, add the onion.
  • Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat until golden brown, being careful not to burn them.
  • When the onions turn golden brown, add eggplant and carrots and stir fry quickly.
  • Add ground meat, sprinkle lots of salt and pepper, and stir fry (use Krazy Salt if you have it).
  • When the meat changes color, add curry powder and mix together.
  • Refer to the "Helpful Hints" for curry powder use.
  • Add canned tomatoes and soup stock cube and mix.
  • Cook for about 5-10 minutes until the moisture evaporates.
  • Keep watching it and stir occasionally.
  • Add ketchup, Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce, sugar and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
  • (Taste for flavor and consistency and adjust as needed).
  • On a plate with rice, pour in the finished curry on top, and it's done.
  • In the photo, I sprinkled dried parsley on the rice.
  • You could also top it with a soft poached egg.
