Mix in beef and ginger, season with salt and cook for 5 minutes. Add curry paste roux and stir to coat beef. Add stock and apple and bring to a simmer. Stir in mirin and cook gently for 1 hour.

  • You can swap the daikon for potato.
  • For an optional garnish, rehydrate a handful of arame seaweed in water, dry well and shallow-fry until crisp.
