Japanese Curry

Mild, savory, and with a hint of sweetness, Japanese curry is one of the most popular comfort food dishes in Japan. It’s a fine example of yoshoku cooking, a Western dish reinvented through traditional Japanese food principles. In this case, curry came to Japan from India via the British. 

Kare raisu begins with a complex roux, and so curry "blocks" were invented to make it easy for people to whip up a quick pot of curry. Commercially made curry blocks are full of questionable ingredients, such as stabilizers, chemical flavorings, and preservatives. Who needs that? In this class, we will make our own! 

You’ll work with the 23 spices that go into Japanese curry powder. From there, you’ll make roux blocks in molds, then freeze a few to take home. With our curry blocks, we will make our dinner. 

On the menu: 

• Curry roux blocks (to cook with and to take home).
• Kare pan: Baked brioche buns filled with pork and curry. 
• Kare raisu: Chicken and vegetable curry donburi style.

• Ages 14 and up are welcome.
• You must wear closed-toe shoes to class.
• You must be registered for the class (no drop-ins).
