Japanese curry: stew-like curry with meat and vegetables
I heart Japanese curry. There’s something about the savory flavor mixed with a sweetness that gets to me. It’s also not too spicy, so even a hotness wimp like me can handle it. The best curry I ate was probably the homemade version that someone ladled out to me in Little Tokyo. However, I’m also a big fan of the Curry House chain.
I do make J-curry at home using those pre-packaged blocks (usually the House Foods brand) from the local Asian store. Somehow, though, it’s always missing the addictive quality that I find at restaurants.
Fun fact: I requested katsu curry as one of my last meals before delivering my first child.
sounds so yummy
is this now one of your child’s favorite meals?
Definitely tasty. :) Actually, my child does like curry and can handle higher levels of spice than me!
How does Japanese curry differ from Indian Curry? We’re big fans of Indian curry at my house.
J-curry tends to be sweeter in flavor while Indian curry is spicier (as in hotter and with more varied spices).
