      Seriously. I've never seen this channel before, I've never even eaten a Japanese curry before. But this was so well done and informative that I've already subscribed, checked my cupboard for spices, and I already plan on making this as soon as I get more soy sauce (the only ingredient I'm missing).
      This is exactly what cooking videos should be. And now I'm hungry.

      Yes, every time I've made a Japanese curry I've used a premixed 'curry powder' or some of those dried blocks of Japanese curry. I'll definitely have a go at making my own blend from scratch now I've watched this video.

    This. This is one of those videos I stew over for years. It goes beyond just showcasing a good recipe. It shows good, practical technique, refers to each ingredient by rheir properties, and introduces it all in modular bits that apply even outside the scope of the recipe.

    Very interesting to me to see you use Worcestershire sauce in some of your Asian dishes. In my American mind I've always strictly segregated those two things. Something new to try in my future experiments. 🤗
    Also, I like the way you arranged your spices on a white plate. This is how I taught my special needs niece to cook without a recipe: I would show her how to tell what spices went together by aroma and how to arrange them on a white, paper plate using smaller or larger amounts to taste. I compared it to an artist's palette. Her grandmother is an artist, so she loved the analogy.

    I'm from Louisiana and a long time ago when I didn't know any recipes for curry, but did know what kind of spices were used generally, I made almost exactly this trying to figure out Indian food because rouxs are what I know. Interesting coincidence that I apparently got two ingredients (Soy sauce and Worcestershire) away from another cultures take on curry.

    I'm familiar with all those spices. I was taught to make a roux with all of those spices except black pepper is switched with chilli powder/crushed chillies. I may also add allspice. I don't have flour in mine though. Thickness is gained using vegetables and or potatoes that gets cooked soft enough to disentigrate when pressed to the side of the pot by a spoon or use a hand blender after that another set of vegetables and or potato can be added that will keep their chunk shapes. Soy sauce and Worcester sauce in it is a new for me.

    This is one of those videos where I can't comment on anything and I don't know whether I like that or not. Is this like those Japanese curry cubes that I keep seeing in videos? I am very curious to how they taste. In all seriousness, this video is a beautiful representation of Japanese style Curry which I was always curious about, I will try it out even though it's hard for me to use oil instead of ghee, seems like blasphemy. Thank you for the detailed recipe, it is one that will stay with me for the rest of my knowing life.

    @mariegro09 19 дней назад +1

    Thank you. I don't even know what Japanese curry is but I really learned some techniques to master roux based sauces. Do you think you can use the same techniques to make other sauces like a red wine sauce? Obviously you would have to change some of the flavouring up.

    • @w2kitchen
      @w2kitchen  19 дней назад

      A classic red wine sauce typically relies on a veal or beef stock reduction for thickening. Adding a roux to a red wine sauce can somewhat dull or mask the wine’s flavour. While a roux has a rich, slightly nutty taste that complements creamy or thickened sauces, it can mute the bright, acidic, and fruity notes of the wine.
      In my opinion, the simplest way to make a red wine sauce in a home kitchen is to use some affordable tawny port from the supermarket. Reduce it down to a glaze, then add a dash of red wine and reduce it again to your desired texture. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

    If you don't have good honey to deepen the flavour, I suggest to not use sugar and use fruit juice instead to add both sweetness and flavour. Of course if you want to froze the roux, it'll have to wait until you actually make the curry, by mixing the cooking liquide and the juice.
    As for the type of juice used, you can go pretty wild, I like apple with a bit of mango, but peach, orange, tangerine work well.

      @@sebaschan-uwu I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised considering. You can also finely grate some carrot and cook them in a pan without fat at low-medium temperature for a few minutes. The goal isn't really to cook them but to evaporate some of the water in it, and i don't know exactly what are the process involved in it, but adding them to a curry tend to mellow the whole dish. I usually don't do it for Japanese curry (because I never thought about it, stupid me), but it truly works wonder. It's also the best way I've found to counterbalance the acidity of a tomato sauce if needed (and I've tried so many things). Cherry on top, if you grate them fine enough they will be pretty much invisible on a visual level, and so melty that it's impact on the texture is almost imperceptible.

      Thank you! Japanese curry typically consists of boiled ingredients, so you can simply cook your choice of ingredients to the desired doneness and add the roux directly to the cooking liquid.

    Thank you for this! Any tips on portioning and storing for later use? Just freeze the whole thing an chip off a block as needed?

      I recommend portioning it using an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Make sure you measure the size of the cubes. When using them, start with 100g of roux per every 800ml of water. Taste, then add more if needed.

    Can't wait to try this out!! But I need to make it gluten free, do you know if it makoes a difference which type of flour you use? I've found not all blends are the same

      Rice flour or sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour) will likely give you the closest results to the traditional roux.

    Thats a really well made video! I really like the recipe, i think i rarely see anybody does a japanese roux by hand, i allways tried doing it myself in a real different way, with frying bits of meat covered in flour to later thicken the broth and then once the meat is fried and the flour got bloomed i add spices and maybe add more flour if i find it necessary (very untraditional but thats all i can do sometimes)
