So, what is the best way to recreate that filthy Chinese style curry sauce that I am so hideously addicted to?

I always use this for that authentic English/Chinese curry sauce, sometimes jazz it up a bit with some Fish sauce and fresh chilli. Easy peasy thumbup

Look for Maysan curry sauce, available in supermarkets near you now.
It's a great with leftover chicken etc and very easy to use.

GreenDog is right, this stuff is exacty how chinese curry tastes. Make sure you get the hot one, which is not all that hot.

Found it in Chinese supermarkets, but didnt know you can get it in normal shops. It comes in a solid block/paste, but is easily made up, and adjust the water for the thickness you like.

Soften some onion, brown strips of beef, throw some finely chopped chilli - (I like it hot), then pop into some made up curry sauce, bubble for a bit and bobs your uncle. Add some frozen peas if you like that kind of thing - I didnt use to like the peas added, but now do. Proper chinky curry in about ten minutes.

All we need to do now is suss out how they make their chips, must a closely guarded Chinese secret......

Out of interest what's the difference between Japanese breadcrumbs and normal breadcrumbs? A quick google threw up this
http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-panko-japanese... which suggests some people don't even know how to make breadcrumbs, but Wikipedia reckons Japanese breadcrumbs don't absorb oil as much as normal ones.

I tend to make Kiev's every so often using normal breadcrumbs, but as a Katsu curry lover I need to have a go.

Try Mayflower - it's a powder and so cheap you'd probably walk straight past it but is the closest I've come.

Panko breadcrumbs are jagged shards of crumb made by running an electrical current through ground up bread.

Normal breadcrumbs are just dried bread whizzed in a food processor until they're a fine meal.

I have no idea how to make it so rely on the Blue Dragon Chinese Curry cooking sauce in a jar.
What a cheat!
