Curry Rice

Curry rice is a favorite of Minako's. I am yet to taste it, but I'm sure it's delicious.

Ingredients:

1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 or 3 potatoes, cut into big or small chunks
2 carrots, diced
1 cup whole mushrooms
Up to 3/4 lb. beef or other meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 box curry roux (Japanese brand)
0ne serving freshly cooked warm rice

Directions:

Heat a deep pan and add one or two tablespoons of oil. Saute the sliced onion over medium heat until it softens. Brown the meat separately, then add it to the onion. Add water as specified, add a bay leaf, and simmer for 2 hours. Then add the potatoes, carrots and mushrooms and continue simmering. When the potates and carrots are tender add the curry roux. Simmer gently for 15 minutes while stirring. Serve with rice.
