Japanese Curry!

Japanese curry is very different from Indian curries.  It’s thicker and has a milder flavor than its Indian counterpart, and the real secret is … using a curry mix from a box and that is the truth.  Japanese people like to make a lot of dishes from scratch; however, when it comes to curry, there are not too many people that do.

Japanese curry or kare (カレー) is a quick, easy and fail-safe meal, making it a great choice for busy or uninspiring nights. Traditionally, you will have to make the roux from scratch using curry powder, flour, oil and seasonings. 

These are Japanese instant curry blocks, also known as curry roux. They can be found in just about any Japanese/Korean/Chinese market (or ordered online).
