S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix, Extra Hot, 7.8 Ounce (Pack of 2)

I’ve tried a few different curry blocks over time, and this is the one I keep coming back to. The extra hot version has a really nice balance of flavor and spice.The heat level is noticeable but not overwhelming. It’s definitely spicier than “medium,” but still very manageable if you like a bit of kick. What I like most is that it’s not just heat for the sake of it. The sauce comes out rich, slightly savory-sweet, and has that classic Japanese curry flavor.Preparation is simple. Just add the cubes to water with your cooked meat and vegetables, and it thickens into a smooth sauce pretty quickly. I usually make it with chicken, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and it turns out consistently good every time.One thing to keep in mind is that the sodium is on the higher side, so I try not to overdo the portion size or add too much extra seasoning.For the price and convenience, it’s a great value and an easy way to make a comforting meal at home without much effort. If you like Japanese curry and want something with a bit more heat, this is a solid choice.

I'd never had Japanese curry, and, after several thousand anime characters going berzerk over the stuff, I figured I'd give it a shot. Then I decided I'd give it a shot WITHOUT spending $25 for a serving at a Japanese restaurant.I did some research and was led to Golden Curry. I was advised to start with medium hot, so I wouldn't hurt myself.It's surprisingly easy to make a basic curry, and the Golden Curry cubes are easy to use.It was the blandest glop I'd ever tasted, and I've eaten school lunches!Enter Extra Hot. I figured curry deserved a second chance. And the Extra Hot is actually hot. I mean, not EXTRA hot, but it's at least got some heat to it. If you really like spicy hot, I'd recommend adding more heat while you're cooking it.The flavor is good, and I enjoyed eating it. It's even better over egg noodles than rice.

My favorite sauce mix for curry (once I add a few other spices).

Yup, this one has a kick to it! Add some fried onions and you’ve got perfect fish n’ chip shop curry sauce. Yum.

Good but not spicy

This curry mix is packed with rich flavor and makes cooking super easy — just add it to your ingredients and you're good to go. The extra hot version has a nice kick without being overwhelming. I do find the taste slightly on the mild side in terms of salt, but nothing a little seasoning can’t fix. Overall, a flavorful and convenient option for quick homemade curry.

Love this stuff, makes great Japanese curry with some heat, not too much. I am happy to be able to order here when our local Asian stores are out of it.
