How To Make Curry Bread (Kare Pan)-Japanese Taste

BreadBreakfastCurryKid-friendlyParty FoodSnackVegetarian-friendly

Japanese curry bread, affectionately known as "kare pan," is a mouthwatering blend that beautifully fuses Japanese and Western flavors. This popular street snack in Japan effortlessly combines the comforting essence of bread with the rich, aromatic profile of Japanese curry.

Picture this: a deep-fried delight with a perfectly breaded exterior cradling a generous portion of Japanese curry. Ce curry, un délicieux mélange d'épices, de légumes comme les pommes de terre et les carottes, et parfois de viande, crée une symphonie de saveurs qui danse sur vos papilles. The artful preparation of the curry filling is what sets kare pan apart, ensuring each bite is a savory delight.

Le voyage du kare pan commence avec une pâte à base de levure, habilement conçue pour atteindre cet équilibre idéal entre douceur et croustillant après un trempage dans l'huile chaude. The dough undergoes a patient process of proofing and shaping, hugging the luscious curry filling. Once these parcels hit the frying pan, they transform into golden-brown orbs of joy.

Kare pan's popularity in Japan is partly because of its accessibility; bakeries and convenience stores offer these savory treats for those on the move. Its portability, paired with its rich, aromatic flavors, makes it a favorite choice for a quick and satisfying snack in the midst of busy lives.

Au-delà de son statut de snack, le kare pan est devenu un symbole culturel, incarnant l'esprit novateur de la cuisine japonaise qui embrasse sans crainte diverses influences. Il représente une délicieuse conversation interculturelle entre les saveurs japonaises traditionnelles et le pain de style occidental, aboutissant à une expérience gastronomique typiquement japonaise qui continue de charmer les habitants et les visiteurs.

Expert's Tip

Comment faire du pain au curry (Kare Pan)

This S&B Foods Golden Japanese Curry Roux Sauce Medium is a lifesaver when it comes to making curry bread at home. This product makes cooking so easy. The curry comes out super tasty every single time and it is quick to prepare, consistent in flavor, and customizable with your favorite ingredients!

3) Resting of the Dough

1 / 3

Transfer the dough to a bowl when it feels nice and smooth. Let it rise somewhere warm until it doubles in size, which will take about 30 minutes if in an environment set at around 100°F.

4) Shaping the Curry Bread Dough

1 / 4

Punch the dough to remove the air. Divide the now-doubled dough into 8 portions and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.

5) Filling the Bread with Curry

1 / 6

Use a rolling pin to gently spread the dough into a round shape. Place the curry in the center of the dough, then pull and fold the sides together, closing it with your fingers. Make sure to seal it tightly; otherwise, the curry might leak out while frying. Put the seam on the bottom. Repeat the process for the rest of the curry bread.

6) Coating the Curry Bread with Panko Bread Crumbs

1 / 4

Prepare water and Panko in separate trays and give your curry bread a good misting with water. Sprinkle Panko all over, ensuring an even spread. Repeat the process. Cover with a damp cloth and let the curry breads rest for 10 minutes.

7) Deep Frying the Curry Bread

1 / 3

Pour oil into a deep fry pot and heat it to 350°F. Drop the curry bread into the oil and let them dance until they turn a lovely golden brown color (around 2 minutes on each side). Do not overcrowd the pan. Take them out and place them on a tray with a draining rack.

Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer, wet chopsticks and put them in the oil; if a lot of bubbles form around the surface, it’s a sign that the oil is hot enough.

8) Enjoying Curry Bread

1 / 2

Enjoy your curry pan while it's hot! It goes super well with Kewpie mayo for dipping too! Additionally, you can freeze the remaining curry pan and reheat them when you want a quick breakfast or snack.
