Hi everyone

I'm making a recipe and it says to use 1 box of the roux. Using a whole box seems like alot. Does it mean the whole box or 1 square

What other way can I make vegetarian japanese curry? With or without the roux

Google tells me 1 lb is 450g meat, so that’s way off

    Huh, you are right. Both squares are meant for the 12 servings. I personally found 1 square enough for 1.5kg vegetables+ 500g Tofu and rice as a side

    Interesting how different the same product is ….

    Both squares are meant for the 12 servings

    “Both”? Maybe this is the entire confusion. In my package there is one rectangular piece for the roux. While it’s partly sectioned into 8 pieces that you could break off (think like a hersheys chocolate bar, if you have those), it’s one piece, and packaged in one rectangular plastic tray.

    • If by “one square” you meant breaking off one of those little pieces, that would not be much flavor nor much roux
    • saying “both” implies yours is somehow packaged in two: we don’t have that. There is no distinguishable “half pack”
    • given the larger ingredient quantities and serving size, it seems like your package is double
