What is the best brand of Japanese curry roux?

>> No.15423491

I like kokumaru. don't get the hot version btw, it lacks the depth of flavor of the mild

It's insulting to call japanese curry curry. It is spicy gravy

3 tablespoons of oil (not vegetable oil, peanut or canola)
1/4 cup of flour
3 tablespoons of curry powder
1 tablespoon of garam marsala
2 teaspoons of salt
~1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper if you want a bit more heat

Heat oil until it shimmers, roughly 350 F. Add flour and stir for 2 minutes. Add spices/salt and stir for another minute. If you want it to be Japanese style, add a tablespoon of honey or 3 tablespoons of apple sauce.

Golden is good. Vermont Hot is my
Favorite.
To me, Java tastes like a pot of curry upon which an autistic kid with a spice cabinet was released.

The manufacturer says Vermont is good for children and pussy ass faggots (pic related). I don’t give a fuck.

My usual is House's Vermont Curry but that's mostly because it's the easiest to get my hands on, I have to go to an Asian store or order online for anything else. I liked Golden, I want to try Java but I can only find it online and it seems inordinately expensive. Probably because of the current state of things.

Protip: you’re supposed to add meat and vegetables. That’s why the packages say “sauce mix”.
You’ll be amazed how it compares if you’ve just slurping a bowl of sauce.

Can you describe the flavors for each and every one and why you like Java the best?

>> No.15425030

>>15424996
java is very flavorful and rich, with a deeper umami flavor than the others. the vermont ones are more or less the same to me. they have the same texture as vermont but less flavorful in every aspect, mild is sort of an understatement i would call it bland. kokumaro is alright it's a good base if you want to just add your own spices.

I like Golden Hot (or Extra when I can find it). I never make curry as a stew the way most Japanese do, but I make curry sauce to be laded over chicken katsu and rice. I've found they key for any of these is to find your brand's weakness and compensate. I don't really keep curry spice around and don't make it often, so blocks are convenient.

I start by frying minced garlic and ginger in some butter, than adding a grated carrot, half a grated onion, and sauteeing for a few minutes over medium heat. Add water or stock, bring to a simmer, and add your curry blocks. Simmer for 10 minutes, add grated apple, then 10 minutes more. Taste for seasoning, and I usually correct with dashes of soy sauce and worcestershire. All the veg adds texture, but being grated and minced means you don't get big chunks, and you get a fresher taste from the apple than something like Vermont.

I use golden since I find it compliments my fried pork better than the other brands.
I sautee onions and some garlic, deglaze with some stock, add in frozen peas and chopped mushrooms, add the roux cubes, then add a dash of soy sauce, a dash of honey, a spritz of old coffee, and a tbsp of bbq sauce to add some tangy zest to it.
Goes fucking exceptional on Katsu style dishes over rice.
