Nice. How much better was it than the block?Japanese curry with chicken.
@JCHateSteve, I finally screwed up my courage and made the curry roux from scratch (butter, flour, S&B “Oriental” curry powder, and garam masala.
I also kinda went wild with the kakashi aji part: grated apple, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, rice cooking wine (sake with salt added to make it undrinkable so as to sell in grocery stores), and Bulldog Tonkatsu sauce. Whew!
It was better, but maybe not better enough for 25 minutes of constant stirring! Also, it needed 4 Tbsp of the S&B curry powder, which was half the dang can.Nice. How much better was it than the block?
Yeesh, that definitely won't be a weeknight meal then. Any ingredients that were hard ru find?It was better, but maybe not better enough for 25 minutes of constant stirring! Also, it needed 4 Tbsp of the S&B curry powder, which was half the dang can.
There’s a good chance that I’ll go back to using the blocks, but geeze, they’re such sodium bombs! I did like having the option of controlling the spice mix a bit.
I truly don’t remember where I got the S&B. I know that I had to hunt for the Bulldog sauce (absolutely worth it), and I found it at a local Asian market. <- kinda surprising, as there is definitely not a noticeable Asian population here. But they have a remarkable selection. Lee's Asian MarketYeesh, that definitely won't be a weeknight meal then. Any ingredients that were hard ru find?
No trouble finding bulldog sauce here. Ingles carries it. The S&B is a new one on me. I'll have to check the Asian Market. Already got garam masala. I have it for Indian curry. I may have to try that.I truly don’t remember where I got the S&B.

I bought the garam masala at Spicewalla, a wholesale outlet for spices created by a local Big Dude chef, but I’ve seen it in the spice area of nearly every chain grocery store. And the same for everything else (mirin, rice wine, etc.)

Next time I’m going to try it without the garam masala. Same ingredients in both, although different proportions, of course. I don’t think the curry needed the additional black pepper.No trouble finding bulldog sauce here. Ingles carries it. The S&B is a new one on me. I'll have to check the Asian Market.
