In particular for all our vegetarian fans, we proudly present Yaki Kare (Baked Curry) based on our Japanese curry with Spinach and Mushrooms.

All you need for this yummy next-day meal is some grated cheese and a small oven-proof casserole dish. Adding an optional egg baked on top is a pretty nice addition as well.

You can pick any cheese you want – an couple of options we like are Mexican blends or Italian blends found in a regular grocery store. Cheddar cheese (either mild or sharp) and Swiss work as well.

Start with a layer of leftover rice lining the bottom of the casserole dish.

Next spread a generous layer of the curry over the rice

Sprinkle the cheese of your choice over the curry.

Pop under the broiler for approximately 2-3 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.

If you want to top with an egg, create a “nest” in your layer of cheese. Crack open the egg and gently drop into the cheese nest.

Bake in the oven at 300F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through to the level of “doneness” you like.

Itadakimasu!
