Delicious and crispy Japanese curry bread buns filled with savory curry, perfect as a snack or meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (155g) bread flour
  • 1/4 cup (40g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (9g) corn starch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm soy milk or other non-dairy milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower, canola, vegetable, etc.)
  • 1 1/2 cup cooled Japanese curry for filling
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups water
  • 70-80 g vegan Japanese curry cubes
  • Neutral oil (for cooking)
  • 2 tbsp room temperature soy milk mixed with 1/2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Japanese or panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened.
  2. Add diced potatoes and carrots, followed by 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are tender. Stir in Japanese curry cubes until dissolved. Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix bread flour, all-purpose flour, corn starch, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. In another bowl, whisk warm soy milk and oil. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
  6. Spoon cooled curry filling into the center, fold edges over to seal, pinching gently.
  7. Prepare ‘egg’ wash by mixing soy milk with corn starch. Dip each bun into the mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs.
  8. Heat neutral oil in a deep pan and fry buns in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
