2. Heat it up

Microwave method: Transfer the contents to a deep plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 2 minutes. When you remove the wrap, the rich, spicy aroma will fill the air.

Boiling method: Bring a pot of water to a boil, reduce to low heat, and fully submerge the pouch. Let it heat for 5 minutes.

3. Serve

A large chicken leg soaked in flavorful soup—just seeing it makes the dish even more appetizing. The chicken becomes so tender that you can easily pull it apart with a spoon.

4. Add toppings

Top with paprika, potato, broccoli, and a boiled egg. In Japan, soup curry shops often use deep-fried vegetables for extra texture and sweetness. Frying paprika enhances its natural sweetness, while potatoes develop a fluffy texture.

For an extra creamy touch, add cheese at the end. Shredded pizza cheese or mozzarella melts beautifully and pairs perfectly with the spicy soup.

5. Add fragrant oil

Right before eating, drizzle the included fragrant oil for a boost of umami.

This oil is infused with seafood and spice flavors, enriching the soup’s depth. Japanese dashi—made from kombu seaweed and bonito flakes—is packed with umami, giving the curry an authentic taste. Add the oil gradually and adjust to your preference.

Prefer a lighter taste? You can enjoy the soup curry without the oil as well.

6. Ready to Enjoy

In Japan, soup curry is typically enjoyed with rice. Scoop up some rice with a spoon and dip it into the curry for the perfect bite. It also pairs well with bread or naan, so try it however you like.
