Japanese-style Curry Rice

This is a remarkably delicious curry sauce mix that makes one of the most popular dishes in Japan--rich and delicious curry with
a touch of apple and honey. One package makes enough to feed 4 or more, and it comes in the form of cubes.

Ingredients:
1 box Vermont curry sauce mix
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb beef or pork
3 onions
2 carrots
2 potatoes
3 cloves garlic
6 cups water

Method:
Thinly slice the onions and saute in 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a pot until lightly brown. Cut vegetables and meat into bite-size pieces,
and add to the onions. Cook a bit longer, then add water and bring to boil. Remove foam from the water with a spoon. Reduce
heat, cover and cook over low/medium heat until vegetables are done (about 20 minutes). Break curry sauce mix cubes and put into
mixture. Stir until completely melted. Stirring often, simmer over low heat about 20 minutes, or until curry thickens. Serve over
steamed jasmine rice.
