Japanese Chicken Curry recipe

Lmyfragileego on 19/05/2019 - 13:04

I recently got hooked on Japanese chicken curries. Last night I figured out how to replicate the flavour of the ones I enjoy from the Brisbane CBD (the 300 Queen St Sushi place for $5, or $7 with extra chicken) cheaply and easily, and without the high fat content or high cost of the S&B golden curry blocks.

Mix one tablespoon of curry paste per cup of gravy.

No fancy ingredients necessary. Just the cheapest gravy powder 1.5 tbsp per cup of gravy, and Clive of India curry powder or any standard curry powder will do.

Serve over sautéed chicken and onion on a bed of rice, or if on a diet, a bed of cauliflower rice.

For 1kg of chicken you probably want 3-4 cups of sauce to be generous. And at these prices, you can afford to be generous :-)

If you try it out - let me know what you think :-)

      Woolworths Essentials Traditional Gravy Mix includes just "wheat flour, salt, colour (150c), natural flavouring".

        What is in colour 150c and what is in "natural flavouring"?

          When you get down to it, they're all made up of perfectly natural protons and neutrons, orbited by electrons. The protons and neutrons themselves are made up of quarks held together by the appropriately named gluons.

            @myfragileego: I can't argue with that. Carry on.

    What if we don't enjoy it , will your fragile ego be able to handle it?😜

    Edit: This is the recipe we use and the kids love it:

    1 tsp. cooking oil
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 1/2 cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated ( or paste)
    2 garlic cloves, crushed (or paste)
    1 tbsp. medium curry powder
    2 tbsp. plain flour
    500 ml chicken stock
    1 tbsp. soy sauce
    2 tsp. honey

    Heat oil in a saucepan and fry onion over medium heat for 5 min to soften and start to turn golden.
    Add ginger and garlic and cook for a further min, then stir in curry powder and flour. Cook for 1min, then gradually add stock to avoid lumps forming. Add soy sauce and honey. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15min to reduce until thickened. Blitz in a blender to make a smoother sauce, if you like.

    Yours has a lot less steps. Will give yours a go one of these days.

        LOL🤣 My wife can't cook. Possibly the 1 and only thing that this otherwise perfect human being can't do. She feeds the kids cereals for dinner when I'm away on business.

        When I said "the recipe we use" , I meant my elder kids and I.

    Eat Japanese curry with Lao Gan Ma chili, you will thank me.

    • kiitos on 20/05/2019 - 14:48

      Why that one in particular? How does it differ from other chili sauces?

    S&B brand Golden Curry (made in Japan) available at Coles, Woolworths etc. is about as a genuine ready made Japanese Chicken Curry you will find in Australia

      Came here to say this and then saw that OP didn't want it. But it really is the best.

    • User210686 on 20/05/2019 - 08:33

      That’s the typical curry Japanese make and eat at home but actually tastes quite different from another Japanese curry you get in many restaurants in Japan. I’ve never tried to replicate the latter but can probably find the recipe.

    if you want to make it healthy, why not try making it from scratch?

    No fancy ingredients necessary

    No healthy ones either.

      You could use free range chicken. 🤷🏿‍♂️

      • barozgain on 19/05/2019 - 19:28

        How are free range healthier than normal chickens ahaha? (I thought they're just more ethical)

          Well, they get to run around. Regular exercise is important to stay healthy.

          the impact of stress and fear on an animal's physiology is significant. They will have higher levels of cortisol in their systems for a start.

        Here have a plus.
