Hi everyone

I’m making a recipe and it says to use 1 box of the roux. Using a whole box seems like alot. Does it mean the whole box or 1 square

What other way can I make vegetarian japanese curry? With or without the roux

    I find that it stands for spice-level, not heat-level. And that spice-level is how much of the general spices they add, not chili spices.

    If it’s chili spice you’re looking for, an Indian curry might work out better than a Japanese curry

      The flavours are entirely different though. Just saute your favourite chilis or hot peppers if you want to boost the spice level

        Indian curry is an opportunity to learn about the combination of the two types of spices with less effort, but I agree spicing up a Japanese curry can work if one is okay with experimenting.

        I like that Japanese curry can be made quickly and by only chopping a few root vegetables that keep long in the pantry

          Japanese curry is it’s own thing. Japanese are not spice lords. That’s fine. You can just add some extra ingredients, since you are adding whatever vegetables you like anyway.

          You are basically saying go fuck japan by suggesting just go explore Indian curry if you don’t like how mild Japanese palate is. And that’s pretty damned disrespectful in my opinion. So I say to you that’s poor advice for someone who enjoys Japanese curry
