Potato, carrot and tofu Japanese curry. Super basic but it's got legs. Made about a week's worth of dinners with this batch.

    It can be really simple. They sell blocks of the curry roux with instructions on the back. Or you can make it homemade (and better) of course. There are also retort packs of pre-made curry that you just microwave, but I don't really like it.

        It looks like this.

        Blocks, not paste. When you put it in, you may want to dissolve it into a thick sauce in a separate container. That way you won't get small bits of pure roux in your curry. Recently I got a miso strainer (just look it up) and that lets me dissolve it safely in the pot.

        And yeah you'll want onions, potatoes, and carrots. There are a lot of options though. The Just One Cookbook website has a bunch of pages on Japanese curry, and it's where I get a lot of Japanese recipes. Hope you like it!

          I just ate some it is the bomb. It’s so mild and the onions make it really sweet. Pretty easy as well as far as preparations go… bonus, my kid likes it!

            Wonderful!!! The different brands have different flavor profiles. When making a bigger batch, you can even mix them together.
