When I’m in doubt of what to make for dinner or simply just don’t have the time or energy to cook something that requires more than half of my brain power, I usually default to one thing - Japanese Curry. You may be thinking, “what makes Japanese curry so special?” or “what is Japanese curry?” or “Why is Phil taking up so much time in this intro?

Hopefully after reading this, you will keep a watch for Japanese curry blocks then next time you go grocery shopping and get some to keep in your pantry for one of those days when you need something quick and easy.
