Method
- 1
Cook the sushi rice according to the pack and keep warm.
- 2
Heat a little oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat and brown the chicken thigh pieces for 4-5 minutes. Lift out onto a plate.
- 3
Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the curry powder and plain flour and cook for 1 minute to make a loose roux.
- 4
Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, scraping up the flour from the bottom of the pan, then return the chicken to the pan with the carrots and potato.
- 5
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has no pink remaining and the vegetables are tender.
- 6
Stir in the soy sauce and honey and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes more until the sauce has thickened to a gravy.
- 7
Spoon the curry over bowls of the rice to serve.
