(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you think? It's a fairly basic meal but the family loves it so I try to make it once every 2-3 weeks. I made it with pork this time, which is actually my favorite when it comes to Japanese Curry.

Looks like Campbell's chunky soup. But I bet it's very good.

what exactly is Japanese curry? familiar with others, but havent heard of this type.

Golden curry?

We usually make it once a month here. Cut up some potatoes, onions, and carrots, throw it all in the crockpot with some chicken, add a bit of water and the curry blocks, easy.

I believe the main difference is the spice level.

Anyways I do love thicker curries. Sad that my family only really ever made Vietnamese curry, which is basically a soup.

7/10 would be solid 9 if you add some chunks of chili pepper

Wow looks yummy

It's not really spicy, and it has a thick texture.

Exactly! So simple to make. It's great when you have a lot of guests because the cooking process is only slightly longer when cooking for 4 vs 10 people.

Oof not the one i get

Looks good.

I rarely ate Japanese curry when I lived in Japan though. Tried to avoid it as much as I could.

Indian curry with the spices etc. are where it's at. Japanese curry can be sweeter than Filipino spaghetti.

I have gotten the red golden curry which is labeled (very hot) which is decently spicy. 9 times out of 10 I make the regular one because my wife and kids can't handle spice.

I love making Indian curries and as a whole would say I prefer them over Japanese curry. But every now and them a Japanese curry is a real treat. I have a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old and they eat it without complaints - which is worth so damn much!

That looks really good! Did you add anything other than what's recommended? I usually add very small amount of worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and ketchup.

Buy yourself some golden curry roux (can also be ordered from amazon) follow the instructions, make some rice and you're good to go! Totally worth it!

Thanks! I only started cooking more seriously in 2019. 95% of my cooking came from watching youtube videos tbh. Before I 2019 I could cook pasta and 2-3 other simple things.

Sounds like a good occasion for it.

Katsu Kare is a different meal entirely though! But I do love it, I will make it next time, so look out for it.

i found some pouch curry at the grocery outlet last month. it was pretty good.
if i see it again i'll grab a pouch. it was 3$ for a meal.

only had to supplement some rice.

Soy sauce, diced chilli, extra curry powder (i used golden curry but add a bit more curry powder) and use a vegetable basic stock

Those are some good ideas. I've heard people add curry powder as well. I'll try that for next time.

My favorite curry is still currently Thai Red Curry

I sometimes use dashi as base stock. Dashi is similar to bullion cubes that either come in powder or paste, but its basically fish flavored bullion cubes. It adds more umami and seafood aroma to it, sometimes i add aromatics like bay leaf or rosemary. It's honestly a very flexible recipe that has tons of variation and toppings.

For example instead of potatoes, i use kidney beans and meat.

I've never considered using dashi for a Japanese curry. I make homemade dashi batches and freeze them so might just add a small amount next time to see how it tastes.

Yeah add a smaller amount since the curry cubes usually are salty. It depend on your tounge i guess. I use more water as you can see, so bit of more salt is ok.

I am interest in youe home made dashi. What fish bones are you using?

I actually don't use fish bones. I use bonito flakes, a piece of kombu and niboshi. I use this stock for ramen, katsudon, oyakodon, gyudon, but haven't used it for curry before.

Thats actually really funny to hear because almost every Japanese recipe I have seen has Dashi/Mirin/Soy.

I usually use golden curry. Is there a better kind? I like mine very spicy.

Yeah, I use it for all kinds of other things like Katsudon, Gyudon, Oyakodon, ramen, etc etc. but it never occured to me to use in a pork curry. I guess mostly because when I'm eating a pork curry I'm going for a certain taste, and fishy definitely wouldn't be one of them! If I ever feel like experimenting I'd for for sweeter rather than more savory. I've actually even added 50g of good quality Swiss milk chocolate and it tasted amazing. I recommend people try it! Doesn't have to be Swiss obviously, I just happen to live here so that's what you get.

my go to brand. love east asian curries and thai green curry. never tried indian, the smell is enough to throw me off.

Man I really need to get to my Japanese cooking. I have been exploring many different cuisines but the only Japanese food I have made so far is a simple California roll, Zaru Soba, and Gyoza.

Swiss milk chocolate, interesting to say the least lol.
