Detective Pux here, on the case of the perfect Japanese-American dish: Japanese Curry.

Now, you may be thinking "Wait a minute, Pux, isn't curry from India?" Well, you're not wrong. But the Japanese have put their own spin on this delicious dish and trust me, it's worth trying.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 lb of beef, chicken, pork or shrimp cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1 apple, peeled and grated
• 1 cup of beef or chicken broth
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of uncooked white rice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.

Step 2: Add the meat of your choice and sauté until browned on all sides, then add the grated ginger, curry powder, and grated apple.

Step 3: Stir everything together and let it cook for a minute or two.

Step 4: Pour in the broth and water, bring to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 5: While the curry is simmering, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once the rice is done, serve it in a bowl and pour the curry over it.

Step 6: Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro and enjoy!

But wait, there's more! You can always add some vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers for some extra flavor and texture. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can always swap out the meat for tofu or tempeh.

And don't forget the traditional Japanese condiments like raisins, pickled plums and Japanese mayonnaise to top off your dish.

Now, you may be wondering, where do I get Japanese curry powder? Well, you can always purchase it online or at a specialty store or if you're feeling crafty, you can try making your own curry powder blend with a mixture of cumin, turmeric, coriander, and other spices.

And for the full Japanese curry experience, you can also try making the dish in a clay pot or a donabe which is a traditional Japanese earthenware pot.
