How to prepare

  • ・vegetables
    Dice your onion, carrot, and shitake mushroom.
    You can use the stem as well, so don't throw it away.
    Mince your garlic and ginger.
    ・assemble
    Put your ground pork and beef in a bag.
    Add in salt and pepper, and minced ginger and garlic.
    Toss in minced garlic and ginger, separate the grains just a little bit.
    Add in the vegetables, and you can freeze it for up to a month.

How to cook

  • Thaw the bag in a microwave, according to the machine instruction, or 2~3 mins on low (300~500w).
    Or leave in the fridge overnight.
    Heat your frying pan or wok.
    Cook the curry bag until the grains separated and cooked through.
    Add in 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Cook until well coated and flavorful.
    Add in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook until no longer floury. Flour thickens up the sauce, so if you want it to be soupy, just skip it.
    Add in 3 tablespoons of ketchup and cook until evenly distributed.
    Add in drained and rinsed chickpea.
    Add in 2 chicken soup cubes and 4 cups of water.
    Bring it to a boil and simmer 10 mins.
    Season with a tablespoon of Tamari (or regular soy sauce) instead of salt.
    And there you have your curry with freezer meal prep and pantry ingredients.
    Serve with rice and a splash of coconut milk.
