What unusual things do you make with Japanese curry cubes? - Lemmy.world

I have just discovered the amazing wonder that Japanese curry blocks hold. I’ve made curried pork and curried chicken with them, but I’m guessing there are all kinds of things you can do with them besides using them the way the box suggests. What other things do you make with them, fellow cooks?

Haven’t thought too far out the box, normally just pair with fried pork or tofu, and use carrots, potatoes, onion, and ginger for the curry itself. A little Applesauce goes a long way as well

I agree that apples go well with it. I made curried pork and threw in a couple of apples and it was wonderful. I also used ginger and the other vegetables you listed. I also think that Chinese five spice powder enhances the flavor. I seasoned my pork with it. It just seems to me to have so many possibilities. It’s a magical thing.

It makes sense that apples go well because Japanese curry is made with apples.

So, it always has to have apples in it? This blogger says it can have anything you want in it and gives some examples. sudachirecipes.com/japanese-curry-roux-cubes/

It goes in my roast sauces and soups. I’ve also used it to make gravy.

Very nice! Now that you have mentioned your uses of them it sounds so obvious to me, now. What a quick and easy gravy to make, now that I’m thinking about all of the possibilities. You can even change the flavor a little depending on the herbs or additional spices you decide to combine with it.

I don’t have any unusual recipes to share because I use it for the same as you (chicken and pork), but I wanted to ask what brand you’re using? I currently use S&B Golden Curry (Hot).

That’s exactly the one I used. When I go back to the store I’m going to buy a bunch of them and try out different ones.
