Mastering The Art Of Coco's Curry - the journey begins...

We're home from Okinawa, Japan and what a wonderful time we had!! Our daughter's family now includes a beautiful addition and we welcome little Miss Olivia.
They took us to Coco Ichibanya Curry House twice and I fell in love! Here are pictures I found online of Coco's:This is a scoop of Potato Salad on top of shredded cabbage which is on top of a bed of lettuce. I chose to have mine served with Sesame Dressing which was yummy!You could also choose to have your curry with or without vegetables.
And now that I'm home I'm going to try to follow our daughter's tradition of Japanese Curry once a week, that is, IF I can figure out how to make it myself. The mix contains both sugar and MSG. It does make a great curry sauce, but I'd like to ditch those two ingredients. Many of the recipes call for an apple that has been liquified in the blender which should sweeten it enough I think. So here I go, on an adventure of creative discovery! I hope I can make mine look and taste as good as Coco's. Wish me luck!!
