KATSU CURRY RECIPE, new & improved!

[@missberry5372]

Definitely going to try this one! My 10 year old daughter has your chickpea curry down to an art- she makes it for her meat eating grandad and he loves it so much he now eats much less meat (every little helps!) I’ll have to introduce her to this one!

[@gazoakleychef]

so good to hear!!! :)

Wow your daughter is awesome!

Thank you so much for this! My husband has macular degeneration and his eye pressure has always been terrible, no matter how many drugs/surgeries. He went vegan over a year ago and for the first time ever, his eye pressure has dropped.

Had to laugh when he pulled out that S&B Golden Curry block. How did Gaz learn the secret ingredient to my little old Japanese grandmother's curry recipe?

I always wondered whether that was suitable for vegans bc I've not seen the label on the packet confirming it as suitable for vegetarians / vegans🤔

Fyi they aren't vegan here in Japan. There are several versions of golden curry and they do have vegan one with green package, but common ones get gelatin, and do sometimes contain beef stock. European and American versions of golden curry are vegan. I'm gagging.

[@forevertrue06]

All the bloopers are hilarious. Definitely going to try this. I had a Japanese friend that made me curry with that same curry block but it was white.

[@ayako3191]

Not exactly sure but I guess the white one you had before was Japanese cream stew, which exactly looks like Japanese curry but it’s creamy and milky in a white colour. We usually make it in winter here in Japan :)

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

I'm sure it's going to be amazing 😍 Have a wonderful time everyone. Keep well😊

[@Goldniz]

I TRIED THE CURRY !!!😃!! It was really really good ! Not the same color a little lighter and not as smooth but definitely good. My family loved it. I was so happy. Thx for that recipe

[@jing2454]

As a Chinese, I found it so cute when you and Tom pronounced the Sichuan pepper!

[@jenna4519]

I made this three weeks ago and it was AMAZING! And I'm going to be making it again this week because it's so damn good. I followed everything you did, I even bought those curry blocks, but instead of making the pickled radish I just made seaweed salad. This time I'm going to try making it without the banana and use a little bit of sugar instead. Such a great recipe, thank you!

[@elliecooke1772]

I made this for my vegetarian friend. She and her husband who won't eat without meat loved it! Especially the pickled radishes and onions 😀 thank you!

I just made this for my boyfriend and me and we both agreed this is our new favorite dish! It really tastes amazing and all the components go so well together! I'm completely blown away by this meal ❤️

[@robertthomas3364]

I used this recipe, just the curry part and it is delicious. The coconut milk adds a creaminess to it, delicious over a bed of rice. I used a Golden curry block, which is readily available at most supermarkets. Fortunately Golden Curry is vegan.

[@enderlynxwilloze7935]

Gosh, I’m not a vegan but this looks GOOD .

[@mfcabrini]

To get a really meaty texture in the tofu, freeze it. It will turn yellow and then white again when it thaws. Squeeze out as much water as possible without breaking the tofu. The texture is amazing, spongy, meaty and absorbs flavors. It also holds its shape while cutting and preparing.

[@katiehuynh03]

Love how ur always going back and finding new ways to improve the same dish for ur audience. Appreciate that very much gaz

[@gazoakleychef]

Yooooo I DID THIS and it tasted like RESTAURANT STYLE!! I'm blown away, i recommend the golden curry block it's absolutely necessary for the flavor!

[@suzngyn]

Love!! Just finished making it and inhaled it. Followed recipe but only had firm tofu, and used GF panko breadcrumbs and rice flour for the batter, no biggie. So glad there's enough for another 1-2 servings. Definitely bookmarking this.

[@vivahabbitvanassen]

Interesting addition of Banana to curry. And I must try flour water bath for the tofu. Way to go. Looking good.

Interesting trivia about Panko (bread crumbs): they don't bake them in an oven during the production process. Instead, they literally run electricity through the batter to cook it. This is why it retains its crispiness longer than baked crumbs.

[@nanakakuno8885]

Love this!! Just a side note... the mild flavor Golden Curry that's sold in Japan lists "GELATIN" in the ingredients. Maybe they swapped it with something else for products exported to other countries!! Just wanted to let you know :)

[@sarahdee374]

I just checked on Amazon. At least one brand (S&B) they're selling does not have gelatin. But does contain palm oil and MSG. I love the prices at my local Asian market, but am very careful about reading labels. It seems some brands are not as "clean" with ingredients as I'd like. For this recipe I'll probably go with his alternative to the blocks.

[@kitskun5396]

@@sarahdee374 it is unclear if the flavourings labeled on the asia S&B Golden curry are vegan as some of them are most often derived from a form of meat or fish (sardines) they do say it is meat and fish free but do not claim it to be vegan so i find myself quite confused.

[@sarahdee374]

@@kitskun5396 As I said I've often found SOME other cultures to be not as aware of vegetarian and/or vegan needs as some others. Like I've gone into a Chinese or Thai place that lists a dish in the "vegetable" section of theri menu and inquired further only to be told something like "no meat, just fish sauce or chicken broth" etc. So I'd as I said on this particular item I'm going to use the alternative ingredients that Gaz made available. I believe if gelatin is not listed as an ingredient it's likely safe. I guess just use your best judgement, often that's the best we can do.
