Chinese Curry Sauce, Like you get from the Take Away - 1

Curry Sauce, like the Chinese take-aways

John Young

This is the type of curry sauce sold in Chinese take-aways. People often buy it with potato chips or French fries. It can also be eaten with rice. The recipe comes from a friend who used to own and run several Chinese take-aways and is an excellent cook-Mamta

Ingredients

• 2 tbs. oil
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped or sliced
• 2 tbs. plain flour
• 2 tsp. curry powder (Madras or similar from Chinese grocers)
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 -1 tsp. chilli powder (depends upon how hot your curry powder is)
• 1 tsp. sweet paprika powder

Buy ingredients from a recommended supplier, Spices of India. For more information, see here.

Instructions

1. Mix curry powder and flour in a bowl and keep aside.
2. Heat oil.
3. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add flour and curry powder mix and allow it to bubble.
5. Add salt, paprika and chilli powder. Stir.
6. Add enough water, a little at a time, to get sauce consistency. Bring to boil and simmer briskly for a few minutes. Turn the heat off. This is the basic curry sauce like the ‘take-away, shops and people generally buy it with chips/French fries, as a dipping sauce.
7. You can also use it to make take-away style curries. When you are ready to cook a curry, like chicken, prawns, pork or boiled potatoes etc., heat 1 tbs. oil in a wok, stir-fry the chicken/prawns/meat/potatoes and add the curry paste. Continue to stir-fry for a few minutes. Add a little water, if you want more gravy.
8. Serve hot, with rice or noodles.

Notes

• You can also add any of the following; fried onion slices, cooked carrot slices, pineapple chunks, peas, beans etc.

In the UK, Chinese takeaways serve a thick yellow sauce normally with chips or rice. The most comon method of producing it is from a commercial powder mix or paste (just add water). There is a chain of Chinese wholesalers in the UK called Wing Yip. they sell the paste but it tastes a little too powdery to me.
I am in the process of building a website dedicated to popular recipies from restaurants and takeaways (Chinese, Indian, Italian etc). I have contacted several already that have been recommended by friends and family and been supplied with the exact recipe details and cooking instructions to about 15 dishes already.

I have only found one Chinese takeaway that makes the curry sauce from scratch.

Chinese "chippy" curry sauce.

2 tbs oil (they use ground nut)
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 inch fresh root ginger peeled and finely chopped
1 tbs plain flour
1 tbs mild Madras curry powder (they use RAJAH brand)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 pinch five spice powder
2 pinch of salt
half inch cube of cream coconut (optional)
Water (can use chicken stock)

Method

1. Heat oil over a medium heat in a pan or wok and add the onion. Cook until soft and transparent.
2 Add the garlic and ginger and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.
3. Add the flour and curry powder and cook for a couple of minutes (you should have a paste like consistency)
4. Add the sugar, five spice powder and salt then add the water or chicken stock if prefered (the takeaway uses water) a little at a time until the right thickness is achieved.
5. break up the cream coconut (if using) and stir into the curry.
6. simmer for a few minutes on a low heat then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
7. You can now either strain the curry using a fine sieve or blend in a food procesor to create a smooth texture before returning it to the pan to simmer gently until reduced slightly.

There are two types of this sauce, a mild sauce and a more spicy and slightly harsher flavoured sauce (both sauces are the same with the cream coconut being left out of the more spicy alternative).

If you require a hotter flavour add some chilli powder at the start not more curry powder!
Use the five spice powder sparingly as it can overpower the other ingredients.

Those answers are a load of tosh. I will give you the secret recipe for that one here and now. Iceland frozen foods.In their freezers there are packets of curry sauce made to the thousand yr old Chinese recipe. 50p a pack(or used to be). You may need a few packets depending on what you intend to do with it. Life is 2 short to attempt to make this at home. Mail me if you want more info on what to cook with it. although Indian style curry is better with rice.

The Chinese don't cook curries so maybe that's why you cant find a recipe They do cook very spicy food in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hunan provinces but it is mainly chilli's and not spices like cumin Try searching the names of these places for recipes, Sichuan is the most famous
