I have just discovered the amazing wonder that Japanese curry blocks hold. I’ve made curried pork and curried chicken with them, but I’m guessing there are all kinds of things you can do with them besides using them the way the box suggests. What other things do you make with them, fellow cooks?
I agree that apples go well with it. I made curried pork and threw in a couple of apples and it was wonderful. I also used ginger and the other vegetables you listed. I also think that Chinese five spice powder enhances the flavor. I seasoned my pork with it. It just seems to me to have so many possibilities. It’s a magical thing.
It makes sense that apples go well because Japanese curry is made with apples.
So, it always has to have apples in it? This blogger says it can have anything you want in it and gives some examples. https://sudachirecipes.com/japanese-curry-roux-cubes/
