i want to use >carrots >onion >potato >broccoli >cauliflower
how should i do it? >cube everything >brown everything in oil on high heat >take out broccoli and cauliflower >add stock and curry powder >simmer 10 minutes, add brocc and cauliflower back in, simmer 5 more minutes
would this achieve a curry where the veggies arent too hard or too mushy?

I'd wait until potatoes are close to tender before adding crucifers. Browning even a little bit of meat to add goes a long way too.
Jace James
I ate this a lot as a kid. Skip the broccoli and cauliflower. Simmer on low forever until the potatoes are how you like them.
Jose Young
I've only ever used carrots, onion, potatoes and meat, unless I make katsu where I fry thin pork chops and put that on top instead of putting meat in the curry itself. But I follow what the box says to do and it always comes out great.
I would do almost everything you said but I never use stock in my curry, with the veggies and meat simmering for half an hour I find that it flavors the water enough without over powering the curry when you put it in.
I also add a splash of sake when I'm about done browning the meat. It really brings the whole dish together
Carter Price
do what it says on the back of the box. eat the broccoli and cauliflower on the side.
Jordan Rodriguez
these guys have it right
Liam Nguyen
Add some mushrooms. Thank me later.
Easton Hughes
Mushrooms are one of the best "unusual" options. Diced apple works too. Remember, it's called "curry" but it's essentially a slightly spicy English stew.
Nolan Cook
>cauliflower In curry? Why?
Xavier Taylor
Consider coconut cream or just milk... also, see if you have any of the same spices that are in traditional curry and add some (even just a bit of cinnamon) while you simmer the meat.
Jordan James
It has nothing to do with traditional curry, and attempting to mix the two is like showing up to a traditional Korean banquet with some Nathan's to grill. Milk in particular produces a disgusting, sickly-sweet pudding as you add the cooling thickener that the roux here already accomplishes.
Luis Bennett
i wanted to add brocc and cauliflower just to bolster the nutritional value, it cant be that bad right?
Evan Ward
No ignore the back of the box. You'll get some mediocre junk.
Prebrown the meat. Saute the vegetables. Season both heavily with spices. Use stock instead of water.
If using a tougher stewing meat like chuck (beef is the best meat for Japanese curry) simmer the meat for an hour or so before adding in the sauteed vegetables, other wise they get too soft. Potatoes can go in with the meat.
If you're using a fairly spicy curry, you can add in a little honey or even better cut up an apple the same size as the potatoes and add in a single apple in in the last 30 minutes. Once the curry is cooked its impossible to tell the difference between the potato and apple so bites will alternate between spicy and sweet.
If you use chicken instead of beef, marinate in a heavily spiced yogurt mixture. You can add in coconut milk as well.
Also broccoli and cauliflower sounds terrible. Replace them with different kinds of peppers.
William Stewart
you can melt an apple or a kombucha in thete for an awesome flavor
Carson Garcia
Ignore this guy, you'll get bad unevenly-spicy pudding rather than a decent Japanese curry.

also, beef is exclusively for 50+ men, everyone normal uses pork
Caleb Hernandez
>Using a garbage "curry" mix What the fuck is wrong with you people. Have you not heard of spices and how to blend them?
Dominic Mitchell
i understand that you're proud of yourself for being worldly enough to read the word カレー, and prouder of yourself for being worldly enough to cook indian, but your advice in this thread is like walking into a thread about pommes and suggesting baking in a pie or serving raw and sprinkled with cinnamon.
Landon Butler
Nobody has ever made Japanese curry with pork. Its beef or chicken
This is the cuisine that features noodle sandwiches, remember.
Jacob Gray
those are delicious, but potatoes with rice is on another level of carb heavy
Logan Butler
>redundant with rice i agree with you, but what should i replace it with? im not huge on bell peppers and like a simple 3 ingredient curry.
beef carrots ????
Easton Sullivan
it's pre-refrigeration navy rations.
onion.
Hunter Young
good call. dunno why i didn't think of it.
Ryan Lee
my mom never used chicken unless it was katsu. That rarely happens since it's more work, it's just beef 90% of the time. We never did pork and every time I ate in Japan I always ordered katsu
Brandon Miller
beef's probably relatively more common among emigres because it's the semi-oldschool kansai (traditionally cheaper beef there) and navy (easier to preserve) way before pork-preferring kanto food culture was standardized on by national chains and grocery distribution. but within japan it's only preferred by older men.
the old, oldschool way is frog legs, which is probably where the chicken idea comes from at all.
Kayden Campbell
If you're feeling extra lazy you can just add a cube of this to rice that's already cooking and you get curry flavored rice.
Justin Evans
cube of budgie?
Isaiah Stewart
curry
Ian Cox
>tfw you left the flux capacitor running
Jordan Martinez
Thanks for reminding me to stock up on those.
I recommend leaving the brocc/cauli out. When you want a serving, steam them, and then pour the curry over them and stir to combine. Otherwise, the broccoli "hairs" are going to break free and make the entire thing look like it has little semens in it.
Jose Edwards
Coconut milk, not dairy milk...
Anthony Brown
Here's the secret, don't eat it with rice. Skip the rice. When it's time to eat curry, throw two frozen biscuits in the oven and microwave the curry. Split the fresh hot biscuits and place them on top of the hot curry. Biscuit curry.
Jose Peterson
what a shitty secret
Caleb Hughes
well i made it the traditional way with just onion carrot and potato
was pretty good, ill try to include the brocc and cauliflower as a rice substitute next time
Jaxon Williams
This is pretty much just curry pan but without the delightful japanese bun. Still not a bad idea if you're not a fan of rice.
Ayden Stewart
Do Americans really eat this?
Austin Wright
>golden curry oh god that shit is bland as fuck. making your own is best but there are some pretty fucking good curry roux mixes out there.
you can pretty easily find torokeru, java, or kokumaru online or at an asian supermarket.
Caleb Baker
My standby is onion, bell peppers, carrots, potato, mushrooms, whatever protein I have taken out in advance. Cook that shit and combine with the brick and then slather over rice. I always end up going back for more.
Brayden Garcia
>i hope this baito catches a fish!
Austin Rogers
Japanese curry goes in bread not the other way around.
Ayden Wood
This stuff is just gravy
Jordan Clark
Thanks famalam
Gabriel Rogers
The essence of Japanese food is simplicity >dis nigga.jpg
Why do Americans insist on throwing 57 ingredients at a dish that needs 5? Are you so insecure about not having a cuisine that you demand a riot, a cacophony, a maelstrom of flavours and textures clashing and fighting on the palate?
I watch things like Hell's Kitchen and I genuinely think that 50% of the ingredients used in challenges are not only unnecessary but actively detrimental to a harmonius dish.
"It's blackened cajun monkfish with five-spiced pumpkin and feta fritters, curried cauliflower puree with a cranberry mountain dew reduction, served over three kinds of wild rice sauteed with collard greens, ramp and lap cheong sausage, chef". No wonder Gordon says "fuck me" so much.
OP just follow the instructions on the box and don't be a rampaging ass spelunker like that wanker.
Isaiah Cruz
the amount of people in thist hread thinking japanese curry is anything at all like indian or thai curry lol
cook your meat, preferrably beef or chicken, i usually cook mine with the onions. add water, boil the carrots and potatoes until they're about done, turn off the heat and add the cubes.
that curry box is supposed to be instant curry. it tastes delicious as it is, you don't need to do much. if you want to spice it up, i make a curry doria with the leftovers. you can find that recipe on cookpad or something.
Adrian White
Since there is a thread for curry. I might as well ask. But would this taste good in a curry? Am I asking for too much? I have always wanted to do a seafood curry.
Cooper Murphy
Indian or Thai yes Japanese no
Nicholas Perry
just cook that and then add a can of coconut milk
Isaiah Turner
Kabocha?? Like a Japanese pumpkin? Not Kombucha, a fungi based drink?
