About

Mild, savory, and with a hint of sweetness, Japanese curry is one of the most popular comfort food dishes in Japan.

Kare raisu begins with a complex roux, and so curry "blocks" were invented to make it easy for people to whip up a quick pot of curry. Commercially made curry blocks are full of questionable ingredients, such as stabilizers, chemical flavorings, and preservatives. Who needs that? We'll make our own! 

You’ll work with 23 spices to make a classic Japanese curry powder. From there, you’ll make roux blocks in molds, then freeze a few to take home. Then, we'll make a meal with our curry blocks. 

On the menu 

  • Curry powder.
  • Curry roux blocks (to cook with and to take home).
  • Kare pan: Baked brioche buns filled with curry. 
  • Kare raisu: Chicken and vegetable curry donburi style.

Details

BARN’s kitchen facility regularly uses ingredients on the FDA’s major allergens list. This class uses milk (butter), eggs, tree nuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.

Details

A $25 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need. 

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • You must wear closed-toe shoes to class.
  • You must be registered (no drop-ins).
