Hi everyone
I’m making a recipe and it says to use 1 box of the roux. Using a whole box seems like alot. Does it mean the whole box or 1 square
What other way can I make vegetarian japanese curry? With or without the roux
Go to a Asian grocer and get the House Java curry blocks. It’ll pretty much ruin the golden curry roux cubes for you.
Some people recommend mixing Java and Golden.
Didn’t knew about this brand, will look for it next time I go shopping.
Thanks for the tip, I’m gonna try this.
I made that stuff a ton backpacking across Japan, it means one square unless it’s supposed to serve four people.
I usually used 1 to 2 squares each meal for myself, feel free to add a first cube, mix it in, then add more until you get to your desired consistency.
If it’s just you and a single meal, all 8 pieces is probably going to be too much.
Follow the instructions on the curry box. It should break apart into pieces like a chocolate bar.
You can also just add one square at a time and keep tasting it until it’s the strength you want.
Start by boiling potatoes, carrots, onion. When they soften add roux. It’s a pretty forgiving recipe
頑張って！
I’ve been using these for years, and have found that slicing up the squares can help a lot with getting them to melt properly. Undissolved curry-square can be a bit on the nasty side.
Also, these contain a lot of palm oil unfortunately, so you probably want to add them right at the end of the cooking process.
It depends on the amount of curry you are making, I normally use half a box which break into 4 pieces just like a chocolat bar.
I like to use a bit of my own blend with half to stretch out the box. But in your case just use the whole box. I like to cut the bars into small pieces then smoosh it into a powdery kind of texture so that the flour incorporates much easier and smoother into the pot. I also just remove meat from the dish.
Bonus: add a bit of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of honey.
are you making curry just for yourself and for how many days? For me, usually, one such box is equivalent to 3-4 portions of curry
A pictoof the back would have been good, but if my memory serves me right the 900g of Meat and Vegetables are meant wo be used with one Square
