Japanese Curry Fried Rice (Dorai Karē Chāhan)
Japanese Curry Fried Rice (Dorai Karē Chāhan) is another dish called Dry Curry in Japan. It is basically a curry flavoured fried rice. The flavouring is very close to the other Japanese Dry Curry Recipe. Fried egg is optional, but I strongly recommend having it with the Curry Fried Rice.Don't forget to see the section 'MEAL IDEAS' below the recipe card!
