Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 2 large onions (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
  • 2 Fuji apples (grated)
  • 2 carrots (chopped)
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 block Japanese curry mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients by chopping onions, mincing garlic and ginger, grating apples, and chopping carrots. Pound chicken thighs to an even thickness.
  2. In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté onions in neutral oil until translucent. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant. Stir in grated apples and chopped carrots; continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken stock and soy sauce; bring to a simmer. Add the Japanese curry mix, stirring until thickened (15–20 minutes).
