Curry dishes are among some of the most popular dishes in Japan, and indeed a firm favourite of children. Thicker and somewhat milder in flavour than other curries found around the world, many Japanese kids are happy with just the sauce on rice, but it is often served with chicken, beef or vegetables.
Obviously, children in Japan prefer the milder varieties (as there are several spice intensities available), and Mums find this an extremely convenient family dish to prepare what with a good number of brands (like Glico and S&B) in the market which offer these curry sauces or roux ready-made and need hardly any preparation save the addition of a meat or veg.
Heres a traditional Japanese curry sauce recipe :
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 tbsp curry powder
* 2 onion
