To add a touch of Japanese flair to your mealtime routine, Meera Sodha is sharing her simple yet elegant recipe for Japanese curry rice with soy-marinated egg yolk. The dish's appeal lies in its ease of preparation and the flavor boost it gets from the curry cubes, as well as the luxurious twist courtesy of the marinated egg yolks.
The secret to making this vegan-friendly meal lies in substituting the egg yolk with a marinade made of light soy sauce, mirin, and a pinch of salt. This step may seem tedious, but it elevates the dish from basic to gourmet.
To begin, cook 350g of short-grain rice according to package instructions while preparing the other ingredients. Sauté sliced onions, mushrooms, carrots, green beans, and curry cubes in oil until they're tender, then add a dash of soy sauce for added depth.
Once your rice is cooked, combine it with the pan's contents and stir-fry everything together. Using a spoon to create an indentation on top of each portion of rice will help you nestle the egg yolk later.
While there are vegan alternatives available, using actual egg yolks provides a rich texture that complements the dish beautifully. If you choose not to use eggs, save the egg whites and marinate them for future meringue making.
To finish, place an egg yolk on top of each mound of rice by gently lifting it from its marinade. Sprinkle chopped chives over your meal for added freshness. The combination of flavors will be a welcome surprise at any dinner gathering.
This recipe is perfect for those who struggle to find inspiration in the kitchen or simply desire a twist on traditional comfort food.

I'm loving this Japanese-inspired dish and how it's all about balance, you know? You gotta have that rich egg yolk, but then you gotta balance it out with all the flavors from the soy sauce, mirin, and curry cubes 
. It's like life, right? We need contrasts to make something truly special. And isn't it cool how this recipe uses short-grain rice? It's like how we should focus on the basics (short-term goals) before we can move on to bigger things 
. This dish is all about elevating a simple meal into something luxurious 
, just like how we gotta take care of ourselves and make time for self-care 
. Give it a try and see what kind of harmony you can create in your kitchen! 
It looks so easy peasy, and that addition of soy-marinated egg yolk is genius! 
I mean, who needs store-bought curries when you can make your own with curry cubes? 
And using short-grain rice makes all the difference. I'm totally trying this out for my next dinner party 
Can't wait to see how it turns out in real life! 
it's all about the texture and richness it adds 2 the dish, right? i'm definitely stickin w/ the original recipe, no need 4 that fancy soy-marinated egg yolk stuff. just give me the real deal anytime
! Who needs all that fuss with marinating egg yolks and whatnot? Just cook some rice, toss in some pre-made curry cubes, and call it a day, right? And don't even get me started on the whole "using actual eggs" thing - isn't that just a waste of money? Vegan alternatives are where it's at, imo 
i'm totally down for a vegan-friendly meal that's also super easy to make lol, using a marinade instead of egg yolk is such a good hack! and the addition of mirin and soy sauce is giving me all the flavors 
plus, who doesn't love a good comfort food twist? it's perfect for those dinner gatherings or even just a cozy night in with friends 
. I've been stuck in a rut with my meals lately, just heating up takeout all the time, so this Japanese curry rice sounds like just what I need to spice things up. The addition of soy-marinated egg yolks is genius - I can already imagine how rich and creamy it must be 
. And using actual eggs instead of vegan alternatives would definitely give it a boost, right? Maybe I'll have to try this out for my next dinner party... 
And the best part is, it's actually pretty easy to make, even if you're not the most adventurous cook. I love how Meera Sodha breaks down each step and makes it seem approachable. My only tip would be to use more soy sauce when sautéing those veggies - it gives me life! 
. Remember when cooking was an art form and we actually had to follow recipes to get it right? Now, it's like just throwing some ingredients together and calling it a day 
. This Japanese curry rice thing looks nice and all, but where's the effort? And don't even get me started on vegan alternatives... I mean, what's wrong with a good ol' egg yolk? 
. Like, 350g of short-grain rice? Who even measures that out? And don't even get me started on the marinating process... light soy sauce, mirin, and salt? Sounds like a headache waiting to happen 
. And what's with the whole vegan thing? Can't they just use regular eggs already? It's not like it's rocket science 
. And chives for garnish? Really? That's just gonna add extra work to an already tedious meal prep process 
The addition of soy-marinated egg yolks takes it from basic to baller 
, and using actual egg yolks instead of vegan alternatives makes all the difference in that creamy richness. Plus, who doesn't love a good chive on top? 
. The soy-marinated egg yolk thing is genius - my kiddo would totally be sold on that alone 
, i was skeptical about using real egg yolks but omg the richness it adds is insane
