Japanese Kuro Curry with Soy Eggs and Pickles
A dark and delicious take on one of Japan’s national dishes...
SERVES: 4
Japanese curry is traditionally made by cooking a roux (a mixture of flour and fat) with curry powder to make a thick and glossy sauce. Kuro (black) curry (most commonly made with beef) is made in a similar manner but turmeric and chilli powder are removed from the curry powder to eliminate any hint of yellow or red and seaweed (black laver), squid ink, dark chocolate or, as in this case coffee are added to make a striking black coloured sauce.
We’re serving the curry here with two types of pickle, furikake seasoned rice, coleslaw and soy marinated eggs.

Delicious, with or without the furikake seasoning! My partner had beef kuro curry which he said was lovely. I used tofu instead and it was also very tasty. We both really enjoyed this meal.
Really different but lovely beef curry. Nice to have Japanese food that isn’t sushi. Highly recommend.
Great job, Lena! Happy spicing!
Amazing flavours. This dish has changed my view of tofu.
Ha, brilliant! Happy spicing!
Very tasty tofu and turmeric pickles.
Wow, stunning! Happy spicing!
Swapped out the beef with veggie alternative, really enjoyed our very first try of these boxes, more on order!
Brilliant - enjoy! Happy spicing!
Lovely flavours and great fun cooking during lock down. Swapped in breadcrumb halloumi which was delicious, deffo would order and make again. We marinated the eggs for five hours but not sure it added anything extra so will stick to the instructions next time ;) #happyspicing
Brilliant - enjoy! Happy spicing!
Excellent meal. Really tasty. Made it with Quorn (not keen on tofu!) and the breadcrumbs didn’t stick that well but still tasted really good. Also much easier to make than it looked! Can’t wait until the next month. Thanks for such a delicious recipe!
Looks fantastic, great job!
Having been to Japan recently, this Kuro Curry recipe was absolutely wonderful and reminded me of my time in a beautiful country. Lots of leftovers too for some amazing lunches!
That's great to hear, George! Happy spicing!
Mouth watering. So good I’ve made it a few times in the last 10 months. I didn’t have sushi rice so used jasmine (which worked fine) and I’ve also tried making this in my slow cooker which works really well.
WOW we <3 this! Everything looks delicious!
As ever this was a big hit with us all. Crisp pickles, rich curry sauce. Perfect tofu and we weren’t sure we’d like the soy eggs but they were great also!
Every component looks amazing, Rebecca - great job! We're loving the variety of colours and textures in this photo, and we're really pleased to hear how much you all enjoyed eating it (especially the surprise of the eggs)!
