A delicious twist on this Japanese comfort food, Chef Lisa Kitahara's Vegan Japanese Curry with Shiitake Mushroom, Lotus Root and Short Grain Rice features a curry much milder and sweeter than traditional Thai or Indian curries, as it's made with fruits.
This dish starts with fire roasted shiitake and white button mushrooms, which are then stewed with carrots and potatoes in the rich sauce flavoured with Japanese staple chopped parsley, as well as coffee and dark chocolate for depth and complexity. Served with cooked short grain sushi rice for a bit of bite, and garnished with pickled lotus root for a hint of tang.
Ingredients: Short grain rice, Water, Yellow onion, Yukon potatoes, White button mushroom, Lotus root (water, citric acid, SHMP, vitamin C, sodium hydrosulfite), Carrot, Gala apple, Shittake mushroom, Curry roux (vegetable oil, salt, sugar, curry powder, mandarin orange peel, spices, monosodium glutimate, caramel colour, red pepper, garlic, celery seeds, malic acid, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate), Rice vinegar (sugar, salt, water), Soy sauce (water, soybeans, wheat, salt, brewing starter), Canola oil, Garlic, Mirin (glucose syrup, alcohol, rice, corn syrup, salt), Dark chocolate (cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifier), Sugar (granulated sugar), Ginger, All purpose flour, Kosher salt, Spices, Instant coffee.
