The Japanese curry sauce is so versatile; once you have a recipe under your belt, you can whip up a huge range of dishes for your family and friends. The favourite is, of course, Katsu curry, where curry sauce is portioned over deep-fried, breaded cutlets or vegetables. You can also add curry sauce to a fried noodle dish to create curry noodles, or simmer vegetables in the sauce slowly for a healthy curry.
