Hello there! Today we are going to talk about Japanese curry, and I am going to explain it to you in a way that is easy for a 5-year-old to understand.
So, first things first - have you ever had curry before? Curry is a dish that comes from India, but it's also really popular in other places like Thailand and Japan. Japanese curry is a little different from other types of curry because it's sweeter and milder in flavor.
The main ingredients in Japanese curry are potatoes, carrots, and tender beef or chicken. These are cooked in a pot with a special sauce that is made with curry powder, which gives the dish its distinctive color and taste. The sauce also has some other yummy ingredients like apples, honey, and soy sauce.
When the vegetables and meat are cooked through and the sauce has thickened up, it's time to eat! Japanese curry is usually served with rice, and sometimes people will add extra toppings like pickles or breaded fried pork (which is called "tonkatsu" in Japanese).
Now, I know what you might be thinking - "But wait, isn't curry spicy?" Sometimes curry can be spicy, but Japanese curry is usually mild enough for kids to enjoy. And if you're not a fan of spicy food, you can always leave out the spicy stuff when you make your own curry at home.
So there you have it, kiddo - a simple explanation of Japanese curry! It's a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for dinner any night of the week. Give it a try sometime and see if you like it!
