> [@jnglmassiv](#): > > I wouldn’t, the Golden is pretty rich already and probably won’t benefit from the milk. But you could reserve a few shavings of the curry for next time you use milk and make a microbatch. Yeah, whatever purpose coconut milk would serve is probably already covered by something else in the golden curry product. ---

The ingredients in Golden Curry (by S&B who were among the first to produce Japanese commercial curry powder and pre-made curry sauce like the ones we have been discussing): Wheat flour, Vegetable oils (Palm oil, Hydrogenated rapeseed oil), Salt, Curry powder, Sugar, Monosodium glutamate, Caramel color, Pepper, Malic acid, Chili pepper, Garlic, Disodium guanylate, Disodium inosinate, Celery seed, Mustard This is about 90 calories per “serving” (serving being defined on the box). Also 800 mg of sodium, about 1/3 your minimum daily value. ---

Maybe I can nuke a frozen chicken patty and toss it on the ramen for a bachelor-style tonkatsu. ---

> [@Leaper](#): > > I knew about Japanese curry _before_ I knew about Indian curry. I would imagine an awful lot of people in Japan can say the same thing. As said, it’s a comfort food and I can see a three-year old snarfing it down long before knowing anything about Indian cuisine. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > Among brands, Golden is one of the better ones, he says, and if you like it sweeter and less hot, Vermont brand is good. You can add spiciness by adding SB brand curry powder (sparingly, until you know how much you like) to any of them. My wife uses S&B golden curry mix when she makes it every few weeks (for when we take lunch to work). ---

A couple of weekends ago, my stepdaughter who has been living with us for the last year and a half finally moved out. Today my wife and I were doing spring cleaning in the refrigerator, and what do I find way in the back but an opened package of Golden Curry just like in the OP! It must be my stepdaughter’s, because I’ve never bought anything like that before. We’re going to take some of her stuff up to her new place this evening, so I’ll have to ask her about it and what she does with it. Just another one of life’s weird funny coincidences. ---

Coincidently, spouse made this for dinner tonight. Delish as always. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/golden-curry-product-anyone-use-it-or-familiar-with-it/1028949.md?page=2)
