  • I am Japanese and I recommend this recipe. I was fed up with different youtubers and people from overseas who have probably never had real Japanese-style curry and uploaded someone's degraded copy of the recipe. Actually, Japanese-style curry is very easy to make if you use curry roux. All you have to do is boil vegetables and meat in water and add curry roux. The curry roux contains not only spices and flour, but also all the secret ingredients, bouillon, stock, etc., so basically you don't need to add anything. The first thing you do is simply eat this. This is basic Japanese-style curry. If it is not enough, you can add a small amount of spices and secret ingredients to your liking the next time you make it yourself.

    Golden Curry is my favorite brand. The medium heat is probably the best overall flavor. Its just hot enough to warm your tongue without making you grab the water or sweat profusely.
  • @K0HAKU_97
    I knew that the curry in Japanese restaurants always tasted sweeter than what I made at home. Now I know what to add! And I have all the ingredients, so it’s curry night 😋
  • @blandrooker6541
    Yep, been our family favorite for over 40 years, and now passed on to my children. Golden Curry forever! When we use beef, I usually stew the beef first because it takes a long time for it to actually become tender, then add the carrots because they take longer to cook than the potatoes and onions. Once all tender, I remove it all from the pot, then sautee the onions. Once translucent, I add back all the rest, check for tenderness, then add the roux to finish. That way I don't end up with chewy beef and mushy potatoes and onions.
  • @menashakate
    Clear instructions that have worked perfectly. I was glad to find the same Golden Curry in Stockholm shops. This is perfect for two days of dinner meals. Thank you.
  • @Wiinajamizzi
    Thank you. After moving out of my parent's place and now having my own space to cook. I followed your video last night and had the best curry rice of my life. I never thought I could make it, but I did thanks to you.
  • @datwistyman
    In Australia you can get this at most sushi takeaways but the curry sauce, onions, carrots, potatoes and garlic is blended in to a smooth sauce and poured over crumbed chicken pieces and rice, with some pickled ginger. It delicious either way chunky or smooth. Yummy 👍

    I was first served this dish in a hotel in northern Hokkaido in January of 1992. I was flabbergasted by how good it was. I was a Marine at the time (we were on a "courtesy tour" of the island after spending two weeks cross-training with the JSDF 6th Infantry at Bihoro) and I was not expecting anything like this when we walked into the hotel's restaurant. I'll probably be crucified for saying this because I'm from Texas, but... I prefer it over Texas BBQ -- which I love. Yeah, it's that good. I could live on this stuff.

    I grew up making curry rice using pork as it was cheap and easy. We also use ground beef which is easy as well. I never put it side by side with rice though. We just put it on top of a bowl of rice. In the winter its the best and tastes even better the next day. Try using half medium and half hot curry blocks and its wonderful.
  • I can't tell you how pleased I am to find a review of my all time favorite dish! I first tried Golden Curry about fifty years ago in my college days. I never lost touch with a place to buy it and love to make it just as the recipe instructs. I use chicken and I cut my carrots thinner so they soften quicker. I am a 78 year old bachelor and use half a package and I will definitely try the new add-ons recommended. Thanks again!
  • @Jimmyjames738
    I made this tonight. Glad I found this recipe, the added flavours for sweetness were perfect. I used chicken stock instead of water and added a dash of fish sauce along with cumin and coriander powder. Was delicious!
  • @quasipseudo1
    THE BEST QUICK curry recipe I've tried (4th one). Thnx!
  • @TyTimeIsAwesome
    After watching so many anime and Japanese people eating curry, I finally decided to make it to see what the hype was about. Let me just say- it tasted better than I ever imagined. This recipe is A+.
  • @tinatoe1907
    I really like your videos and how easy the recipes are to follow ( I’m a total beginner) ! I hope to see more videos from you!
  • @illegalprogram
    I've made huge heaps of this dish three times now, so incredible
  • @theshylilie
    This looks awesome! I'm going to make it. Thanks!
  • I just came across your channel and it's fantastic! You explain things without getting off topic, your voice is very easy to listen to and the background music doesn't over power it. I've seen these boxes of curry roux for years. I am going to buy some today and cook this for tonight's dinner 🤤
  • @cptnpinhead7289
    I’ve always wanted to try this, your video finally got me to do it and it amazing
  • @Turtlelover818
