Japanese curry recipe?

[lavendeer]

I make curry all the time, but I have only made it using the packaged powder or flavor cubes. I'd really love to be able to make it from scratch! I have been unable to find any recipes and a lot of times if you search for curry recipes "from scratch" they still include using the flavor cubes :(

So.. does anyone have a recipe for making Japanese

Excuse me, but I really do not want to enter a vegan cooking community and be confronted by a photo of a pan full of dead animal.

There's no need to over react. A simple courteous request to please remove the picture would have sufficed.

seriously. if its the photo in the linked page, you can't even SEE "dead animal." Not to mention, you're going to come across photos, videos, and real life images of non-vegan meals every day of your life. This is the kind of attitude that makes people hate vegans.

I can't find my favorite recipe at the moment, but this one comes pretty close. The original recipe isn't vegan, but easily convertible. However it does calls for Shrimp, but that can easily be substituted for protein or vegetable of your choice.

Mango Prawn Coconut Curry

Ingredients:

1 yellow onion, thinly sliced

20 prawns Any protein or veggies of your choice. I like tofu and eggplant personally.

3 cups hot water

3 teaspoon red curry paste

200ml coconut cream

1 1/2 cup mango pulp, cubed

1 cup sweet potato, cubed (I used the japanese sweet potato)

1/2 teaspoon fish sauce (add more at the end of it isn't enough) Soy Sauce works just great as a replacment

Thanks for posting this!
Maybe I'm just very ill-informed about making curry.. but is it possible to make all the curry seasoning from scratch? I'd really like to try making it without using "curry" paste or anything like that if I can.

Red curry paste is pretty much considered an ingredient in itself, like stock, condiments (think ketchup, mustard) or (more similarly) like curry powder.

Thank you for that info :)

I've never heard of a Japanese curry before. Just saying.

[lavendeer]

Really? You've never seen Golden Curry? That's Japanese curry. It's probably obvious by the name but in Japan, Japanese style curry is incredibly popular (every restaurant has it, especially ramen restaurants and you constantly see ads for different curry brands on tv).

In San Francisco's Japan Town, there's a curry restaurant called On the Bridge that I used to like, but they make all their curry with chicken stock. :(

It's interesting to discover that. My only approach to Japanese food has been through Macrobiotics which doesn't use strong flavours. Also none of my Japanese vegetarian recipe books seems to have curries in them.

I shall check out Golden curry with interest. Thanks.

I LOVE Japanese curry, it's one of my very favourite meals. I think that the Japanese curry recipe from Veganomicon is actually quite authentic-tasting, and much better for you as well. I normally double the amount I'm making though, for use with the same amount of veggies etc, to make sure it's nice and saucy.

I'm sure it's available on the internet somewhere.

I have the Veganmonicon, so I will go look it up :) For some reason I didn't even think to look there!

[moonlitrose9]

Ooh, I've recently bought that book so I'll check it out.
