Microwave Cheese Curry Rice

A cheese curry you can make entirely in the microwave, with no simmering required. Butter, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce add richness, and a splash of vinegar at the end sharpens the flavor, giving it a depth you wouldn't expect from microwave cooking. It's quick to make a single serving, so it's great for people living alone.

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely mince the onion. Since it will only be microwaved briefly, it doesn't cook through easily, so chop it as finely as possible.

    3:11~3 min
  2. 2

    Cut the pork of your choice into bite-sized pieces.

    3:41~2 min
  3. 3

    Put the minced onion, pork, and water into a heatproof bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Worcestershire sauce for richness and spiciness.

  5. 5

    Add sugar. Add just a small amount, less for sweetness than for mellowness and richness.

  6. 6

    Add butter and a small amount of grated garlic.

  7. 7

    Add the store-bought curry roux and mix everything together lightly.

  8. 8

    Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave at 600 W for 4 minutes.

    6:16~4 min
  9. 9

    Remove the wrap and mix well to dissolve the roux, which will have solidified. The curry thickens as the roux dissolves.

  10. 10

    Microwave at 600 W for 1 minute without the wrap to cook off excess moisture and give it a rich flavor.

    6:54~1 min
  11. 11

    Add just a little vinegar and mix lightly to sharpen the flavor.

  12. 12

    Add the shredded pizza cheese, cover loosely with plastic wrap again, and microwave at 600 W for 20 seconds to melt the cheese.

    7:52~1 min
