Editing Curry (section)

=== East Asia ===

[[Japanese curry]] is usually eaten as {{lang|ja-Latn|karē raisu}} – curry, rice, and often pickled vegetables, served on the same plate and eaten with a spoon, a common lunchtime canteen dish. It is less spicy and seasoned than Indian and Southeast Asian curries, being more of a thick stew than a curry. British people brought curry from the [[British Raj|Indian colony]] back to Britain<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sb-worldwide.com/curry/history.html|title=History of Japanese curry |author=S&B Company |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411190436/http://www.sb-worldwide.com/curry/history.html |archive-date=11 April 2013 |access-date=28 February 2013}}</ref> and introduced it to Japan during the [[Meiji period]] (1868 to 1912), after Japan ended its policy of national self-isolation ({{lang|ja-Latn|[[sakoku]]}}), and curry in Japan was categorised as a [[Yōshoku|Western dish]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Booth |first=Michael |title=The Meaning of Rice: And Other Tales from the Belly of Japan |date=2017 |publisher=Random House |isbn=9781473545816 |page=278 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rYPkDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT278 |access-date=4 December 2020 |archive-date=19 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230219053208/https://books.google.com/books?id=rYPkDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT278 |url-status=live }}</ref> Its spread across the country is attributed to its use in the [[Imperial Japanese Army|Japanese Army]] and [[Imperial Japanese Navy|Navy]] which adopted it extensively as convenient field and naval canteen cooking, allowing even conscripts from the remotest countryside to experience the dish.

Curry spread to other regions of Asia. Curry powder is added to some dishes in the southern part of China. The curry powder sold in Chinese grocery stores is similar to Madras curry powder, but with the addition of [[Illicium verum|star anise]] and cinnamon.<ref name="Sen2009">{{cite book |last=Sen |first=Colleen Taylor |title=Curry: A Global History |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=94tRvbuCqWcC&pg=PA1|date=15 November 2009|publisher=Reaktion Books |isbn=978-1-86189-704-6 |page=105 |access-date=16 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191226114045/https://books.google.com/books?id=94tRvbuCqWcC&pg=PA1 |archive-date=26 December 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> The former Portuguese colony of Macau has its [[Macanese cuisine|own culinary traditions]] and curry dishes, including ''[[Galinha à portuguesa]]'' ("Portuguese-style chicken") and curry crab.

Curry was popularized in [[Korean cuisine]] when [[Ottogi]] entered the Korean food industry with an imported curry powder in 1969.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150625001118 |title=[Best Brand] Ottogi becomes Korea's representative curry product |date=25 June 2015 |newspaper=[[The Korea Herald]] |access-date=10 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110163940/http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150625001118 |archive-date=10 January 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="sohn">{{Cite news |last=Sohn |first=JiAe |title=Ottogi Curry brings Indian cuisine to the table |url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Business/view?articleId=122393 |date=24 October 2014 |access-date=10 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215171434/http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Business/view?articleId=122393 |archive-date=15 December 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> Korean curry powder contains spices including cardamom, chili, cinnamon, and turmeric.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lee |first1=Jiyoung |title=Real Korean Recipes |date=2024 |publisher=Beeolive Books |location=Seoul, Korea |isbn=979-11-987166-0-6 |page=23 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yHP8EAAAQBAJ&dq=%22Korean+curry%22+%22turmeric%22&pg=PA23}}</ref>
Curry ''[[tteokbokki]]'' is made of ''[[tteok]]'' (rice cakes), ''[[eomuk]]'' (fish cakes), eggs, vegetables, and ''[[gochujang]]'', fermented red chili paste. As in India, chilis were brought to Korea by European traders. Spicy chili sauce then replaced the soy sauce formerly used in ''tteokbokki''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Huskey |first=Brian |title=Asia: The Ultimate Cookbook (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Asian) |date=2022 |publisher=Cider Mill Press |pages=19, 398}}</ref>
