hello again researchers~!
im trying different question techniques, so ill try asking
specifically about chinese curry powder.
if you are chinese *or* regularly cook chinese style curry *or* are
pretty knowledgable about the kinds of supermarket curry powder a
typcial chinese housewife would use, please help me...
i think chinese curry has star anise flavor (or maybe its 5 spice not
sure) to it. anyway, does anybody have a specific brand they can
recommend? i have access to several chinese supermarkets. pictures
(from the web or scanned in) or descriptions of chinese characters
would be extremely helpful.
even if what is normally used is not from china (say, its from
malaysia or indonesia, or whereever), that is fine, as long as if it
is something that is commonly used.
this curry powder, ultimately, would be used to make beef jerky.
thanks in advance!
Hello hahna-ga!
Curry is not normally used in Chinese (China) households, though it
has been introduced into Chinese fast food / restaurants for the
western taste buds, along with chop suey, chow mein etc (which are
Chinese inventions for the western markets). Chinese (Singapore and
Malaysia) would probably be the type of curry you are looking for as
you have suggested. The curry used in Chinese (China) fast food is a
'catering' curry powder and to my taste buds anyway lacks the taste
and richness of the more Indian curries found in Singapore and
Malaysia. This catering curry is available from all cash and carry
wholesalers in rather large containers! (Normally you need to need to
be an owner of a store to gain entry to these catering supply
warehouses)
regards lot-ga
