Chinese Curry.

Does anyone cook them?
I've just made the sauce for one. It tastes like a Chinese curry but doesn't have the same texture. What do they do to make the sauce so smooth? Anyone know?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you've made it from onions, garlic, dried spices, plum tomatoes etc. did you blitz the tomatoes before adding to the spices and onions? Did you fry the onions and garlic to soften them before adding spices and tomatoes?
Just try cooking it for a while longer, on a very low heat, until everything softens and amalgamates.

Corn starch. Add a bit of corn starch to a bit of cold water and stir/whisk, you know in-cooperate. Then add to your gravy, sauce whatever you call it..
Not too much though; otherwise the sauce would become to thick. But you could always fix that also by adding more liquid.

Thing is, Chinese curry is more of a gravy- sauce, with no tomato. Blitzing onions, ginger, garlic and spices is the Indian way, the only onions in a Chinese curry are stir-fried ones. But if it tastes good then what does it matter - you have more of an Indonesian rendang if it's smooth - so what started out in your head as Chinese, made like an indian, tastes like Indonesian - that's fusion food!
Hi Ummmm, I cheat and use something called MAYSAN, it's a concentrated block and you fry your meat/veg. Mix a portion of this MAYSAN with water and add to the meat, and stir until thickened and cooked through. It tastes exactly like a Chinese curry and can usually be bought in pork butchers/fishmongers/small grocers. I've never seen it in the big supermarkets, don't mix it up with Maykway, it's comp different.
