Japanese Curry

Japanese Curry

If you’ve never had this type of curry before, it’ll be different to what you’re expecting.

The Golden Curry mix used in this dish is a shelf-stable roux block, that is used to flavour and thicken the end result.

You can learn more about curry in Japan from this episode of Japanology..

While the radish pickles are normally bright red, the neon yellow version I used here are Tokyo Takuantaro, and serve the job of cutting through the rich roux perfectly well.

I normally add a liberal amount of sriracha and shichimi to give it kick, although it’s perfectly fine on it’s own.
