About Japanese curry paste

Japanese curry paste is a flavorful blend of spices and ingredients used as the base for Japan's beloved curry dishes. Originating from Indian and British influences, it has become a staple in Japanese cuisine, offering a rich and mildly sweet flavor profile. Common ingredients include curry powder, flour, oil, sugar, salt, and seasonings such as turmeric and fenugreek. Korean or Japanese chili powders may be added for mild heat. Some versions incorporate vegetables or meat extracts for added depth. While high in flavor, curry paste can be high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats, depending on the brand. Health-conscious options often reduce these additives, making them lighter without sacrificing taste. Pairing Japanese curry paste with vegetables, legumes, or lean proteins can create a more balanced dish while preserving its comforting and distinctive character.
