Instructions
Prepare the breaded shrimp (Ebi Fry)
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
- Dip them in flour, then in beaten egg, then in panko to coat them well.
- Heat the oil to 340–360°F and fry the shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare Japanese curry
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion until translucent.
- Add the carrots and potatoes and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the Japanese curry cube or paste and mix well until the sauce is smooth.
- Add the seaweed to the sauce 2–3 minutes before the end of cooking so that it absorbs the curry flavor.
Assemble the dish:
- Serve hot white rice in a bowl or deep plate.
- Top with vegetable and seaweed curry.
- Arrange the breaded shrimp on top.
- Garnish with a few extra strips of seaweed or parsley/chives.
Recipe notes
For a richer curry, add a little milk or cream just before serving.
The crispiness of the shrimp is best preserved by placing them on the curry just before serving, to prevent them from becoming soft.
Seaweed adds a touch of umami and can be mixed directly into the curry or used as a garnish.
