hello. everyone.
In this article, I will introduce Japanese "curry".
Many people think of "curry = India", but Japanese curry is a little different. It has evolved to suit the taste of the Japanese people based on Japanese food culture. I will start explaining what Japanese curry is, which is easy to make and has become a national dish.
When was Japanese-style curry born?
It is said to have been introduced from India, which was colonized by U.K. around 1868. At this time, a dish based on Indian curry was born in U.K., and it was introduced to Japan, which made a difference between Indian curry and Japanese curry. in short,
India ⇒ UK ⇒ Japan
That's how the recipe came through. The first people to eat curry in Japan were the Army and Navy at that time. Its taste is very popular, its nutritional value is high, and it can be made in large quantities at once, so it was provided as a school lunch after World War II and spread to households. The curry recipe at this time is quite different from the current curry. That's because there were many spices that weren't available at that time. If you read the recipe at that time, it's a simmered dish that uses vegetables with a strong aroma and spices that you can get. To be honest, it doesn't look very delicious.
By the way, it was 1905 that the curry roux, which is currently sold in Japanese supermarkets, was sold. It was around this time that curry rice began to be served in restaurants, but at that time it was a high-class dish.
What is the recipe?
Basically, a commercially available curry roux is used. The ingredients are
·onion
·carrot
·potato
·meat
Is the basic. Many people put mushrooms as an arrangement. Delicious.
How to make
・ Fry the onions until they turn brown, and fry the other ingredients until they are cooked.
・ Put the amount of water described in Curry Lou in a pan, add the stir-fried ingredients, and simmer.
・ When the whole is cooked, turn off the heat and add curry roux and stir. If the stove is on fire at this time, the curry will burn, so be careful.
・ Put on rice. Or you can eat it with baguette.
Here is one trivia about curry.
The type of meat you put in the curry depends on the region of Japan. Eastern Japan mainly uses "pork", while western Japan uses "beef". In addition, chicken may be used regardless of the region, or it may be made from seafood such as shrimp and shellfish.
I change the main ingredients depending on the mood at that time. It's delicious even if you put boiled eggs or cheese as a topping! Also, the fried food goes best with the curry! !! good! Tonkatsu, fish fry and croquette are recommended! However, the calories will be terrible! lol
The famous arrangement dish is

Precautions when making curry
From here on, I will write about what I should be careful about when making personally and when storing curry.
・ Curry is easy to spoil!
Since it is a dish with a lot of sugar and oil, it is vulnerable to mold and bacteria and is easily damaged at room temperature. Be sure to store it in the refrigerator. In that case, please put it in the refrigerator after the curry has cooled properly. Especially in the summer, the temperature and humidity of the kitchen are high, so you may not be able to eat it in half a day.
The best way to store it is to freeze it, but if the ingredients contain potatoes, the starch will interfere and the taste will deteriorate. If you plan to make a lot and eat for days, remove the potatoes.
・ Put on fire every day. Then stir from the bottom of the pan.
If you make a large amount of curry and store it in a pot, it is recommended to heat it on the stove every day. Also, at that time, stir the curry from the bottom of the pot. This will slow down the growth of the fungus. However, at this time, if the stove is strong, there is a high possibility that it will burn, so it is better to add about half a glass of water before igniting. Curry is really easy to burn. Never leave the front of the pot when it is on fire. Keep stirring.
・ Don't make a mistake in the amount of water ...
I'm going to make a small amount, but I add too much water to make it thicker and add roux. This time, there is not enough water and it is hard, so add water. I put too much in it ... Many people repeat this, and when they notice it, there is a pot full of curry in front of them. Let's make it with the amount of water according to the recipe!
・ Do not arrange the taste too much.
Curry is a dish that goes well with various ingredients. It will be delicious no matter what you put in it. However, if you mix too much, the taste will not be unified and the result will be inferior to the taste you made normally. I know the arrangements are fun, but add one or two other than the basic recipes.
