Homemade Japanese Curry Block und Curry Rice Recipe 日式咖喱块及咖喱饭的做法

Japanese Curry Rice is really popular in China, it tastes just fantastic, and it's also easy to make. Normally I buy the curry block (look photo↓ ) in asian supermarket, it's 2.99 euro for one package, and one package can serve around 3 people. But I really cook it too often and it's kinda expensive to buy it everytime, then I tried to make curry block myself, after several "experiments" I want to share my final curry block recipe with you, it tastes just same like the one from supermarket, maybe even
better (▰˘◡˘▰)...

Now let's get started (◔౪◔) !

Homemade Japanese Curry Block Recipe

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10 min

Number of servings: enough for cooking 4 times curry soup, everytime serves 3 people

Ingredients:

（here are the curry powder I have tried already, they both work:))

* 4 tbsp curry powder

* 4 tbsp butter (vegetable oil is ok too) 

* 5 tsp honey

* 1 and half tbsp ketchup 

* 6 tbsp cake flour (I think all purpose flour is ok)

(if you like to eat hot you can still put 1 tsp chili powder or black pepper)

Directions:

1, turn the heat to medium, put butter in a frying pan, wait till the butter is molten and there are small bubbles rising from the bottom to the surface.

2, turn the heat down to low, put curry powder into the frying pan, fry it with butter till you can smell a nice scent of curry.

3, put honey& ketchup and mix it well with the curry mixture.

4, put cake flour, stir the mixture until it is just combined

5, use plastic wrap to cover the box in which you are going to keep your curry block, wait till the mixture cools down, put it into the box, and then it's done!

It's better to keep your curry block in the freezer, just take it out 20 minutes before you are going to use it :).



And FINALLY it's time to cook the curry soup, with our curry block you can cook the soup with chicken or beef, but vegetarian soup tastes super nice too(≧∀≦)ゞ, today im going to show you how to make vegetarian soup cuz im losing weight these days, so now let's start again (ﾉ>ω<)ﾉ.
