Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Curry and bread are a perfect combination. In Japan, curry pan is a popular type of pastry, and every generation loves it. It is crispy outside with tasty curry inside.

delicious curry pan

 

Have you ever had a curry pan? Curry pan is one of the popular Japanese pastries in Japan. It’s comfort food that you can find at bakeries, convenience stores, or grocery stores in Japan. This can be great for breakfast, lunch, or snack, home party or picnic.

 

What is Curry Pan?

Curry pan means curry bread. Kindly cover curry with bread dough and panko, then deep-fried until it’s nicely brown. The outside crust is crispy and bread is almost chewy. It’s deep-frying bread but it shouldn’t be oily. Inside of the bread, there is mild Japanese curry. Once you experience this delicious bread, you can’t stop thinking about when you can get next time…

When I was a kid, my mom used to get Yamazaki Curry Pan as a snack for me. It has a mild curry flavor and is the perfect size for a small snack. Whenever I had curry pan, I was happy.

Yamazaki

I love curry pan but after I moved to the states, I couldn’t find it as easily. I tried some curry pan recipes online, and I created my own curry pan recipe finally! This recipe is super easy and simple. I am not good at making bread, so if you are like me, please try this recipe!

 

Which Curry should I use for Curry pan?

The answer is you can use any curry! I personally like mild curry but if you like a spice, then you can pick hot level of Japanese curry. Here are the list that you can pick curry!

  • mild
  • medium hot
  • Hot

 

Can I use leftover curry for Curry Pan?

Yes, you can even use leftover curry. The important thing that when you use curry for curry pan is, do not use curry that is so soupy. The curry pan’s curry should be a little bit hard or solid. So if your curry is too smooth, then add more curry roux to make it harder. Then, store in a fridge for a day to cool down.

      Thank you for asking! You can pick your favorite curry. The major curry brands are S&B or House Foods. And each brands have some spice levels. I personally like mild Japanese curry. So it’s up to you which curry you want to add 🙂
      It’s also a good idea if you have leftover curry. Leftover curry can be used for curry pan.

    I made this and it was great but I wonder what I should do with the leftover oil.

      Thank you for asking. Deep-frying oil can be used a few times. So ideally you want to have a container with a strainer. It’s a container that you can store oil and reuse the oil again. If you go on Amazon and search “oil container with a strainer”, I think there are so many options to choose from!
      You can also throw away the oil. If you throw it away, please use a bag or Ziplock and add the oil and close tightly. You can toss the bag into a trash can but please do not just toss it in the sink.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩

Great recipe for the curry lovers!

Hi everyone🥺 and I see some new friends in my IG❤️ Welcome :)
I hope you had lovely new years! How is 2023 going so far? 

Today, I want to share my go-to bento meal, dry curry!
Dry curry is a café food that is originally from Japan. This is great for lunch, dinner, and bento boxes!

Curry is a beloved food in Japan and there are tons of curry recipes created in Japan. Keema Curry is a popular Indian dish in Japan that uses minced meat, but there is a ‘DEY CURRY’ that is similar to Keema curry. Dry curry is one of the popular curry varieties that Japanese people love!

Chinjao Rosu is a popular Chinese food as well as Mapo Tofu in Japan. Made from beef(or pork), green pepper and bamboo shoot then stir fried. This is loved by so many generations in Japan, so there are some instant Chinjao Rosu options that you can buy at any grocery store in Japan and make it in just 15-20 minutes! But it is also easy to make all by yourself 🥺🔥
