My Sweet Potato Curry Recipe (Japanese style Curry)
(by request)

Cut up your ingredients: I use shitake or oyster mushrooms, onions, Korean sweet chiles. shishito chilies (skip if you are heat sensitive), green leafies (Chinese broccoli is good), including stems unless very fibrous, Japanese sweet potato (Probably western yams will work better than western sweet potatoes Western sweet potatoes will get mushy. Japanese sweet potatoes are a nice mid-ground in terms of sweetness while having a nice firm texture. They cook faster than ordinary potatoes.)

Separate leaves but not stalks. You will add them last. If you use something like western cabbage, you might not need to do this. I don't know.

Add shredded beef (I have only seen this in Asian supermarkets). Chicken cut into small pieces would probably be the next best.

Sauté using sesame oil (Not toasted) (Other mild oil is fine, no need for fancy oils since you won’t be able to taste it at the end.) till onions are translucent and meat is browned.)

Add water and cover till sweet potatoes are soft.

Add leaf vegetables.

Add curry roux cubes. I use Java brand. I think it tastes the best. Stir till thick and roux is entirely melted (I use one block per helping) Add water as needed to get the consistency you want.

Pour over or next to short grain rice. (Calrose is okay if that is all you can get.)

This curry is chunkier than what you get in a restaurant but looks more like what you see in manga and anime.

You said curry packet, so expect that might be the problem. Use Japanese roux cubes. They are very easy to use. I prefer Java brand. Some people prefer Vermont. Golden is the most common, but I feel inferior.

I didn't know I needed a picture so none is available.

celeriac with clementine (peel) and miso (and mustard and kombu dashi + butter)

recipe from Anna Jones: Easy Wins

a whole celeriac is rubbed w butter. covered in foil, baked in the oven - sauce: kombu dashi, butter, shiro miso, English mustard, rice vinegar.

finished with dried powdered mandarin / clementine peel

the powdered peel brightens up the whole thing; I did add a sprinkling of shichimi togarashi in the end, though
