Beef Curry

Crispy Gyoza

Steamed Rice

Salad

Method

Beef Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    Add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in chopped carrots and diced potato, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Liquids and Spice

    Sprinkle the curry powder over the mixture, then pour in the coconut milk and beef broth. Add soy sauce, stir well, and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the beef is tender.

Crispy Gyoza

  1. 7

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, mix ground pork or chicken, chopped cabbage, green onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt until well combined.

  2. 8

    Fill Gyoza Wrappers

    Place a gyoza wrapper in the palm of your hand. Put a teaspoon of filling in the center, moisten the edges with water, and fold the wrapper over to seal, creating pleats along the edge.

  3. 9

    Cook Gyoza

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Place gyoza in a single layer and fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Add water to the pan (about 1/4 cup), cover, and steam for 5-6 minutes until water has evaporated.

Steamed Rice

  1. 10

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 11

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Salad

  1. 12

    Prepare Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 13

    Dress Salad

    Drizzle the salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss to combine.
