mystery generic asian curry...could it be thai or could it be japanese or could it be something entirely of my own device?

Seriously it was good. I would add a picture, but I've been delayed for having an appropriate camera.

Mystery Generic Asian Curry

onion, chopped

garlic, chopped and crushed

sirloin beef, thinly sliced

carrots, cut

potatoes, cut

ginger, chopped and crushed, maybe food processed

hot pepper powder, course

1 can of coconut milk

bay leaves

curry roux (ie--Golden Curry)

honey powder

celery or bell peppers

1. Sautee the onion and garlic till aromatic and slightly clear. Add the defrosted, thinly sliced beef and let it cook. Add water as necessary to keep it from drying.

2. Stir in carrots and potatoes. Add more water as needed and allow to steam while covered.

3. Stir in ginger and hot pepper powder. Let it simmer some more in a little bit of water. Then pour in the coconut milk and add the bay leaves. Add one block of curry roux and allow to melt along with honey powder to taste.

4. Allow to simmer on lower heat and then add the celery and/or bell peppers. Continue to simmer on the lowest setting while you wash your dishes and clean your mess.

5. The end. Like many curries, tomato-based and coconut-based food, it will taste better with time.
