    Posted by admin on January 15th, 2010 and filed under japanese curry | 4 Comments »

    can anybody give me a good curry recipe for japanese style curry or vermont curry?

    Japanese Curry (Wafuu)

    3 cups chicken stock
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut into chunks
    salt and pepper
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
    1/2 medium onions, finely chopped
    1/2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch chunks
    1 garlic clove, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons flour
    2 tablespoons curry powder
    2 tablespoons crushed tomatoes
    1 bay leaf
    1 medium carrot, chopped to 1/2-inch pieces
    1 medium potato, chopped in 1-inch pieces
    1 small fuji apple, grated
    1 teaspoon honey
    1 tablespoon soy sauce

    Bring chicken stock to a simmer. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper, and brown in oil. After approx 4 minutes, remove to a separate dish and set aside.

    Melt the butter and add ginger, garlic, and onion. Cook a few minutes until done. Sprinkle in the flour and cook until browned (basically, make a roux.) Add curry powder and tomatoes, stir well. Mix in 1/2 cup hot stock, making sure to scrape the stuff off of the bottom of the skillet.

    Pour the mixture into the simmering stock. Add the chicken, onion, potato, and carrot. Simmer 30 minutes.

    Add the apples, soy sauce, and honey. Allow to cook for 5 more minutes, remove from heat and serve with rice.

    When I go to Japanese curry restuarants the curry usually comes with red colored radishes…what’s the name of this radish? It looks like Daikon but it has a sweet flavor. Can I find it at Japanese markets?

    It is Fukujinzuke!
    It’s a Japanese type of pickle, that gets relished and used as curry.
    You can buy it on amazon.com, so I’m sure you can buy it in Japanese markets!

    What was Original Indian curry that became Japanese curry?

    Posted by admin on December 24th, 2009 and filed under japanese curry | 3 Comments »

    I love Japanese curry. But I want to eat the real thing. What Indian Dish gave rise to Japanese curry which is a curry sauce with meat and vegetables poured over white rice. Can I order this at most Indian Restaurants?

    I am a former chef, and worked in Japan and I must say there curry is based more on the adapted Chinese method, but they use Indian curry powders more than the malay ones the Chinese use, Malay will have less cumin and more star anise, fennel and black cardamon in it and they prefer it thinner ir with coconut milk.

    The S&K or Vermont variety’s in Japan are a combination of japanese tastes, Indian flavours and local ingredients, Japanese currys tend to be spicier and sweeter than other non Indian Asian styles, a bit thicker and used on almost every dish from chicken to beef, seafood and on noodles like Udon, Soba and Ramen.

    Your not going to find this style in an Indian restaurant, a mild curry from Mumbai or one known as Madras is as close as it comes to Japanese outside the Japanese population.
