Steps
1
Cut or tear the meat into small pieces; no need to chop finely.
2
Sear the meat briefly until browned on the outside; it doesn't need to be fully cooked since it will simmer later in the curry.
3
Add the Japanese curry cubes with some water, and cook until the cubes dissolve into a thick sauce, letting the meat simmer until flavorful.
4
Spread the cooked rice in a baking dish and pour the thick curry sauce over it, making sure the sauce isn't too runny so it doesn't soak through the rice.
5
Top with cheese and bake until the cheese melts and turns golden brown, then serve.
