How to make ★Japanese Curry Rice★カレーライスの作り方（EP8）
Japanese curry rice is one of the most popular home meal.
It is milder and thicker compare to Indian or Thai curry.
We use “box curry roux” for this dish.
You can find it at Japanese supermarket. “Vermont” brand is my go to.
We are so familiar with this taste, Japanese children starts eating this brand.
But “Mild” is not spicy enough for grown-ups, so we choose this.
I made 2 types of curry until my son becomes junior-high school student.
Cook just before adding box-curry, and transfer some of it to a separate pot. And then, add in mild curry to it.
That’s what Japanese moms do!
