Making Curry in a white shirt is a boss move.

I made this for dinner tonight and it tastes the same as my mom's curry! I had a tear in my eye cause I thought I would never be as good of cook as her and today I can say, I have become an adult. Thank you Marion!!!!

That's exactly how I make my curry. Curry is my top seller for my catering business(S&B curry with extra bit of garam masala). Marion is more than just a "personality chef".

I'm flummoxed at the combination of flavours here! Garam masala, curry powder, soy sauce, honey, apple juice...it's amazing how well these otherwise strong and distinct flavours compliment each other.

I never stopped being amazed by how good you are in decipher food from all different culture! You made the most delicious and authentic drum stick chicken and mapo tofu among the recipes I have tried. How did you even have the opportunity to try so many authentic food, remember the flavor and be so accurate in decipher the recipes and make it even better?

Marion please can you teach us how to make pickled ginger and how long it can be stored. Thank you.. Love from India

I'm an Indian and it always fascinates me when certain recipes call for curry powder because we don't have that in India. We have different spices, and we grind and blend them differently for different dishes; popular are garam masala, meat masala, sambar masala etc.. But what is this curry powder that the rest of world seem to use?!

Japanese chicken curry is my ultimate comfort food, and apparently perfect to quench my thirst for delicious soul food, thanks Queen Marion for this amazing recipe!

Marion's kitchen, mangchii, and pailins kitchen, have the best cooking videos!!

My Japanese roommate used coke instead of apple juice it's actually really good

[hummingbirdian]

add coffee, like left over coffee or even just instant coffee powder. about a half cup of coffee in your recipe/Japanese curry.

[fernandomanrique]

thank you sooo much for this recipe. My grandparents are japanese and my Grandma used to cook the best curry ever. I looked everywhere for a recipe of a curry that tastes like hers and I finally found it! It came up delicious! I also really like your voice, it transmits calm

[ambermeslar]

[madisongale]

Marion! I spent a fair amount of time in Okinawa, Japan and I have been trying to replicate that beautiful golden curry ever since coming back home to the US. I feel like I can smell this through the video 😭❤️ I’m so excited to try your recipe! ❤️❤️❤️

to make Japanese curry from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
