Are there any other cooking hacks we should try? 🍛

[disasterhamuaku]

Wait...I thought that's what everyone does 😳

I was chopping curry one day when my son asked if it was chocolate. I said yes, would you like some? 20 years later, he still hasn't forgiven me. 😁

[DForDelecTable]

This is what I do - you're really making me want Japanese curry right now, looks delicious! 😋

I was taught this by a Japanese YT channel called “Cooking with Dog”
And before someone makes a tasteless joke, a dog hosts the channel called Francis.

I used to shave/chop the blocks so they'd melt faster but then I stopped. The blocks dissolve in like 2 minutes anyway and it just dirties up a knife.

I put my roux blocks in a spider nest that’s made for putting in miso paste and stir it in that way. Also as a warning for anyone that doesn’t make Japanese curry a lot—most of these brands use a lot of turmeric and it will leave your pot and plates with a thick layer of it (which is annoying during cleanup!!)

crack the block up still in the package and you won't have to wash all the residue off everything 🥰 and also you can steam the carrots and potatoes in the microwave to get them a bit softer so it all cooks faster! just throw them in a container with a bit of water in the bottom and cover with saran wrap or a cover with holes (meant for steaming) and microwave for a few minutes at a time until they're slightly soft before adding them in. Makes curry night so fast 😋

The separation of the blocks from each other was soooo satisfying 😭
Like so.

Loops went from amazing to absolutely perfect

[christinechance]

I use these alot I put them in as is and they dissolve just fine in love the golden curry brand it's hot and amazing

Japanese Curry is VERY popular in Hawaii, commonly served with chicken katsu. My parents didn't have much but had enough to make us dinner most nights. Japanese Curry to me feels like mom's warm hugs and scratches by dad's beard. I live in Colorado springs and my family ships it over to me so I'm never without it

When I saw the logo on the packaging of the Vermont Curry, I had to look it up because I knew it looked familiar. So the product comes from House Foods, a Japanese company that sells treats, food mixes, and of course curry. They are available worldwide, and when you pointed out on how the spicy curry isn't that spicy, I realized that it seems like they tend to adjust the flavours of certain products to suit the tastes of the countries they are exporting to.

Us Indonesians LOVE spicy foods, so when you mentioned that the spicy Vermont Curry blocks aren't spicy, I suddenly got reminded that the ones sold here in Indonesia are actually a lot spicier! Not black pepper spice, even, just straight up chilli pepper spicy. If you and Doug ever get the chance to visit Indonesia, I highly recommend you to get some Indonesian House curry blocks!

There is also Warasa, which is a local Japanese food brand created by Japanese expats who live in Indonesia, and they also have curry mixes, including a pink one with dragon fruit-based food colouring in the mix. I got a free portion of their pink curry during a university event when I was a student there plus as a staff for said event, and it was delicious!

Making your own curry paste is pretty simple too. Just make a roux (flour+butter) and add the curry powder (sold next to the curry block). I like making my own so I can adjust the intensity of the curry.

[alphamail]

Increasing the surface area (in relation to the volume) always works! Smaller pieces mean faster* heating or cooling time, and more flavor per square unit of food when seasoning!

[banksdiggy]

wow, chopping them up causes them to dissolve faster? no way! that really is “like magic”, what a great hack..

[Diver_Toxic]

I tend to grate mine just because it's quicker and thinner. Although I just started doing that recently 😂

[zaraamir]

I have literally not stopped thinking about Japanese curry since I saw the original video. I've known about this recipe for a while, but something about the weather is making me crave it so intensely. So excited to try it out this weekend!

[raginghomosexual]

i like too add the curry blocks and the water and while the carrots and potatos r still hard. soaks up all the flavor and makes it even more yummy 😊

[sonaiill]

Japanese curry🍛 reminds me of shinchan ❤
