Softness up with Shio Koji (salted rice malt)! Spicy Chicken Curry

    Chili pepper, which is a spicy ingredient, is not added, and instead salt koji is added to add umami and mellowness.

    A sweet, yet authentic, spicy curry, which children and those who don’t like spicy food, can also enjoy.

Pointers from Rie

  • Spices don’t like moisture, so don’t shake them directly from the jar over the steam. Place them on a separate plate and add.
  • The spices that make up the curry are turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili pepper for added spiciness.
  • Turmeric is expected to have anti-inflammatory effects. Cumin is expected to be anti-glycation and attention is being paid to improving the intestinal environment and anti-aging effects.
  • Adding glutinous barley to the rice gives it extra texture.
