HOW DID YOU KNOW I NEEDED THIS????? (I live in Germany now after living in London. Wagamama's is actively looking for someone to open a restaurant in Germany, but sadly no one has yet.)
Personally, I don't use brown sugar in my curry- I add that sweetness with two methods. First; I'll caramelize my onions (since they have their own sugars in there) and I'll add fruit. Yes, fruit. No, I'm not completely bonkers. A bit of green apple (the sour ones) and banana will add the sweetness we want, plenty of pectin to help get that nice and hearty body, as well as a fresh fruitiness that, at least to me, helps round out the flavors. If you want the sauce to be a bit 'darker' but don't want to load up on paprika, a touch of tomato paste that is cooked with the onions for a bit, until it turns a deep red color, also helps add more depth, but it might not be for everyone. Just remember; a good curry takes time. No need to rush to a boil, let it simmer, let the flavors come out, thicken the sauce. And for the sake of whatever you hold dear; don't go light on the spices. Curry is meant to be spicy!
@@amyrahadeleye7277 Just remember to deglaze with some alcohol. We want all of that good stuff at the bottom of the pan, it's a good bunch of flavor that often goes to waste.

Very different to all the recipes we have tried, I prefer the sauce slightly thicker I pretty much survived on this and beef bowl( gyudon ) on several trips to Tokyo, Could you please try and do a beef bowl recipe for the UK as I struggle to find the right cut meat
Hi! Bit late to this video, but If you have one local to you try making gyudon with the thin cut beef stakes sold in ASDA. The pack is a little pricey at around £5.50, but you get four or five quite long strips that are almost as thin as I’ve had in Japan. I roll the rest of the steaks up individually in baking paper and put in the freezer, so I can keep a stash of them ready to go. Then you can cut the beef into smaller pieces and poach with fried onions in the sweet soy broth, served over rice with pickles. Really quick and tasty!
If I was gonna make a Coconut Curry Katsu Chicken and Savory Buckwheat waffle could I make the curry sauce the night before? I thought about doing this for holiday breakfast but I don't wanna wake up so early and make the sauce.
Isn't Katsu Curry usually more brown and uses something like apple sauce or honey to sweeten it? This version looks yummy too though :D Will try to cook it as well. Thanks for the video
Ginger is the big thing missing here. I have just cooked the Wagamama recipe and the ginger notes in combination with the curry spices are central to the flavour profile of katsu. IMO, of course! Otherwise looks perfect - and far better executed than any of my efforts
that's standard approach for garam masala as far as i know, you don't cook it out at the beggining like most spices but add it later for better results.
That’s the only thing I would say is quality, they got their branding/marketing/advertising correct. Sadly, everything else is piss poor quality. I should know, I was a chef there. And no, this is not a disgruntled former employee, I left on good terms. Actually I credit Wagamama heavily, kudos to them for pulling the wool over customers eyes. It’s absolutely dreadful.
Oh it seems harsh on your self calling the recipe fakeaway.I understand why one must cut loose from the red tape .I am looking forward to trying it with my son.x
Used to work at Wagamama as a chef, I can tell you the quality of ingredients at waga is dire. I would not advice anyone to eat it, in fact three years ago before I worked there I ate there via a manager who gave me free flu hers whom I knew (who actually got me setup with a job). Anyway, when I ate there it was awful, no taste no flavour. When I worked there I got to understood the low quality of ingredients, literally the chicken smelt awful yes it was raw but believe me, it was baaad. Don’t get me started on the pork belly, it nearly made me gag. Avoid Wagamama like the plague at least if you want bang for your buck. Every single ingredient is of poor quality and I’m even talking about the raw ingredients. The mark up is obscenely high Chicken Katsu used to cost something like £1.56 to make and yet they sell it for £13 odd quid on the menu. My advice? Make your own, it will taste infinitely better.
Your recipe is so wrong, Japanese curry are thicken with a roux, preferably using butter to make the roux as well. Cornstarch slurry just doesn't create that gravy texture which is what Japanese curry is all about. Also, the Japanese like to sweeten their curry with fruit, a Fuji apple works wonder b/c not only does it add sweetness but the apple melting in the curry adds to the thickness of the gravy.

Personally, I don't use brown sugar in my curry- I add that sweetness with two methods. First; I'll caramelize my onions (since they have their own sugars in there) and I'll add fruit. Yes, fruit. No, I'm not completely bonkers. A bit of green apple (the sour ones) and banana will add the sweetness we want, plenty of pectin to help get that nice and hearty body, as well as a fresh fruitiness that, at least to me, helps round out the flavors.
