Ground Pork Curry
Many Asian cultures have their version of a ground meat curry. This recipe is a Japanese version using Golden curry cubes; the same used in Japanese curry. But this type of ground meat curry is closer to an Italian ragout in appearance; just with Japanese flavors. You can use any type of ground protein; beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, or even impossible meat substitute. I’m always partial to ground pork. You can serve the curry over steamed rice or noodles. Both are equally good. To make this curry even better, top with a poached egg.
