Vegan Curry (Japanese Curry Rice with Mushrooms)

Although it’s meatless and roux-less, this vegan Japanese Curry Rice (ビーガンカレーライス) from scratch has an addictive medley of textures, spices, and umami that will have everyone going back for seconds. With a thick and hearty plant-based curry sauce loaded with mushrooms and chickpeas, this vegan and vegetarian friendly curry recipe makes an authentic Japanese curry without using store-bought instant roux cubes. Instead, it’s seasoned with a homemade curry paste that’s thickened using a puree of onions, carrots, garlic, and ginger. This makes it gluten-free as well (assuming you use a GF soy sauce).
