Recipe One – Japanese Curry

Today’s feature product will be S&B’s Torokeru Curry Karakuchi. Priced at RM8.70, and it is good for 10 people! So if you are cooking for 2 it’s good for 5 times! This is a type of Curry Roux, curry paste. This of course is curry Japanese style, and far easier way to cook curry. This dish, as I mentioned earlier, is very easy and tasty! たいへにゃさしい！

 Some Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Meat (beef or chicken or whatever strikes your fancy.  Cut them up to bite size pieces.   Fry them in some oil, until the onions and meat are slightly browned  Add some water, and bring it to a boil until the potatoes and carrots are soft enough.Add the paste, some paste come in cube forms and some like this. For 2 people, half a palm should do it       Simmer the curry until it thickens, stir it constantly.   Serve delicious curry with rice. (medium grained would be perfect) いただきます！

I boiled some miso soup to go with the rice as well, completing my meal quite nicely. Some will say the Indian curry or Nyonya curry are still the best. I can’t agree more, but noticed that there isn’t any coconut milk involved here and it is still very tasty. So there you go, a healthy meal!There are many brands and types of curry at the Japanese section in the Supermarket. They all look the same, some are just instant ready to eat curry where all you have to do is boil the silver packet and presto which I will feature as well. But trust me, making your own is a much better experience. Japanese curry comes in different variations of spiciness too, Mild to Hot and they rate it 1 to 5. This one is 4, which really is a joke for Malaysians.A tip, add half a teaspoon of instant coffee for a more robust flavour.  If you are cooking beef, leave on slow heat, covered for about an hour or more. This is to tenderize the meat. This dish with beef is excellent!
