Japanese curry is a classic home-cooked dish loved by both kids and adults. With store-bought curry roux, it's easy to make, making it a go-to meal for busy weekdays. Each household often has its own version with different ingredients or secret flavors, adding a personal touch.In Japan, people often add “fukujinzuke” on top of curry. It’s a sweet and crunchy pickle made from vegetables like daikon and lotus root, pickled in a soy sauce-based brine.Katsu curry is another popular version, where a crispy pork cutlet (tonkatsu) is served on top of the curry for a hearty meal.Seafood curry is also delicious — just swap out the chicken and carrots for shrimp, squid, or clams.For a tasty twist, try spinach and cheese curry by topping your curry with sautéed spinach and melted cheese.#japanesefood #CA2025

I make this with ordinary vegetables. I wanted to make the type of nostalgic, irresistibly delicious dry curry like they serve at school lunch that would work in a child's bento, using curry roux.You may want to use the leftovers from dinner in a bento, but everyone will want seconds and thirds, so there may be none left.If you add a whole can of tomatoes, the volume will increase, so add more curry roux,For children, add just a little bit of curry roux (just to add a little fragrance). The curry will be sweet and rich, and will really whet their appetites.The secret to the magic is the bell pepper. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Shinyori-na

When I looked at the ingredients listed on a box of commercial curry roux, I was surprised that it included things like beef fat and lard. I made a version that can be eaten without worrying about the ingredients.The color and sweetness of the curry depends on how well you sauté the onion. Sauté patiently while stirring to prevent burning until it has caramelized.I added sugar to make the curry sweeter, but if you use grated apple or honey instead, there will be more depth to the flavor. For 4 servings. Recipe by La Land

The oily texture of store-bought roux bothers me, so I tried making authentic curry using various ingredients at first, but I thought up a recipe that can be easily made with simple ingredients.I use this thickening technique to make white stew as well .The spiciness depends on the amount of curry powder. Adjust it to 1~2 tablespoons when serving to children.It will become medium-spicy with about 2 tablespoons.Make sure to add in the final salt a bit at a time while checking the taste so you do not add too much.Using olive oil or the oil from the meat for sauteing will make this even healthier. For 5~6 people. Recipe by 8tokki8

I also make keema curry with curry powder, but when I don't have any powder in stock, I make a lot of curry by using store-bought roux, and then freezing it after letting it cool and wrapping them separately in plastic wrap.There was a lot of difference in taste when I made it with caramelized onions! The carrots are grated to save time.Make sure to freeze the onions by flattening them. It'll take time to cook if they're a thick block. I heard from a friend of mine who was watching the TV-show "Hanamaru Market" about the how-to of making caramelized onions.Skim off the scum if this bothers you. Recipe by Iku..
