Japanese Box Curry

[Anonymous No.15143975]

Is this stuff supposed to be good? I just made it for the first time and its almost nauseating. It's like indian curry powder in jello form.
As far as curries go, this is the worst kind I've ever had

add more meat and veggies than it says on the box.

I made it the other day, I'm not sure why it came out so thick
I followed the instructions exactly

thai curry is superior in every way, this shit is garbage
>>15144000
i did, and added a few teaspoons of msg
>>15144011
that's about how mine looked too. i wouldnt have minded how gelatinous it was if the spice mixture wasnt god awful. it tasted like someone dumped an entire jar of tumeric powder in my pot

well the taste itself is very nostalgic of japan for me. You may no like the flavor but its exactly how japanese curry tastes in the restaurants there

It is amazing how bad that stuff is
Japanese curry is like some horrible turkey gravy from hell
I mean , it wont make you gag I guess but when you are expecting a nice spicy curry , it sure is a disappointment

[Anonymous No.15144207]

It's SOOOOO GOOD THOUGH

>>15144190
why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

that's how it's supposed to look like. If you want it thinner just use half of the box

Did you use the whole brick ?
That’s probably why it got so thick, too much curry roux

Use 2/3 or less if you like it runnier. I buy two packs and get three uses.

Just treat it a butter roux for gravy, use more for thicker less for thinner.

second, i did use the whole brick, but i made enough for 4 or so days, as according to the recipe on the box
shit is nasty no matter what way you put it

Thai curry and Japanese curry share nothing in common other than using the same english word. If your Japanese curry was bad you fucked it up.

[Anonymous No.15145260]

>>15143975
Your kind of spot on. Meat and veg gives it a few more flavors, but in comparison to other curries (especially when they are used for food) it pretty much is just brown curry. But, that simplicity works well on alot of dishes, just not as well as others. I find an indian or thai curry better on rice, but like box curry for noodles more. And alot of veg and meat can make it a pretty easy and satisfying stew that I may put on rice if I need to stretch it out.

Pork shoulder / "butt" (500 g),
Onions (1 large),

Balsamic vinegar (1 tbsp),

2) Chop the onion and fry it on medium heat with a bit of salt for 10-15 min or until a nice color has been achieved.

It tastes like Japanese curry, which isn't that great. Some people love it but once you have other curries like Indian or Thai, Japanese curry is rubbish.

[Anonymous No.15146615]

>>15144044

Added msg? Omg you tard, don't do that. Add more water dip shit. But also, Jap curry is suppose to be thick, not soupy like Indian/Thai. You've never had a Katsu Curry? Jfc man. Get it together.

That still doesn't look good. It's basically aspic with how gelatinous it is
>>15146472
>use many of the same spices with their own take/additions to make it regionally unique
perfectly fine comparing them. i only made this because ive been making a lot of anime foods recently. im starting to realize japanese cuisine isnt as good as how it looks in 2D. in fact, ive found south korean food to be as a whole to be much, much better

You sound like the kind of faggot that drowns his food in sauce.

[Anonymous No.15147873]

>>15147846
You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that slow cooker would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the slow cooker did to you. Fucked you over, and made you clean it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like oatmeal. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a slow cooker. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's slow cooking you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

I got the spicy version of Golden and it was still too sweet. I prefer Indian and Thai curries, the only reason I havent donated the boxes is because its a decent way to get rid of veggies that are about to expire
