Frequently Asked Questions
Is S&B Golden Curry suitable for a vegetarian or plant-based diet?
Yes. The curry blocks contain no meat or animal-derived ingredients beyond what is listed on the label, and they are widely used by vegetarian and flexitarian households as the flavor base for tofu, legume, and vegetable curries.
Can I make a satisfying curry without any meat at all?
Yes. Combine chickpeas, lentils, tofu, paneer, or simply mixed vegetables with the curry block, and you will get a hearty, protein-rich meal. Many plant-based eaters use S&B Golden Curry as a weekly meal prep staple.
Does this fit a flexitarian approach where I only eat meat sometimes?
Yes. Because the block itself is meat-free, you can build a curry with or without animal protein. Flexitarian households often rotate between tofu, eggs, chicken, and beans using the same box of curry.
Can I use bone broth instead of water for extra nutrition?
Yes. Substituting bone broth for water is a common upgrade that adds collagen, minerals, and richness. It works especially well in slow-cooked or crockpot curries.
Can I thicken the sauce with cornstarch for a heartier bowl?
Yes. Many home cooks dissolve a small amount of cornstarch in cold water and stir it in at the end for an extra-thick, glossy sauce. The curry block already thickens well, so a little goes a long way.
How can I make the curry taste more comforting in cold weather?
Simmer the curry low and slow, use a richer broth, and add a spoonful of honey and diced apple for warmth. Served over rice or noodles, it becomes a deeply cozy cold-weather meal.
Can I add honey and apples to make the curry sweeter?
Yes. Honey and grated or diced apple are a traditional addition that softens any spice and rounds out the curry's savory notes, especially helpful if you are sensitive to heat.
How does S&B Golden Curry compare to coconut-milk based Thai curry kits?
Thai curry kits are sauce- or paste-based and rely on coconut milk for body, while S&B Golden Curry is a dehydrated roux that thickens with any liquid. S&B is pantry-stable, lower in added sugar, and more versatile across cuisines.
Is S&B Golden Curry better than Indian curry paste for an at-home wellness routine?
For at-home wellness cooking, S&B is faster and more forgiving than Indian curry paste, which usually requires blooming in oil and adjusting multiple spices. If your priority is a low-fuss, repeatable weeknight ritual, S&B is the stronger pick.
I'm cutting back on sodium. Can I control the salt?
Yes. Since you add the liquid yourself, you control the salt by choosing low-sodium broth and adding salt at the end. The block contributes some sodium, but you can season to taste.
Will adding hot sauce or chili powder make this curry too spicy for me?
It will only get as spicy as you make it. Start with a small pinch of chili powder or a few drops of hot sauce, stir, and taste. You can always add more, but you cannot take it away.
Is this curry good for batch-cooking multiple days of meals?
Yes. S&B Golden Curry is one of the most popular meal prep curry bases because a single batch holds well in the fridge for several days and the flavor deepens as it sits, so each reheated portion tastes fully developed.
Can I use this curry in a slow cooker for hands-off wellness cooking?
Yes. Add vegetables, protein, and liquid to a crockpot, cook on low, and stir in the curry cubes during the last 30 minutes. It is a low-effort way to come home to a ready meal.
Is the sauce thick enough to eat as a soup, or do I need rice?
The sauce is naturally thick, so it works as a stew over rice, noodles, or bread. If you want it soupier for a lighter meal, simply add more water or broth until you reach your desired consistency.
How does S&B Golden Curry compare to bouillon-based curry seasonings?
Bouillon-based seasonings are usually salt-forward and lack the layered spice profile of a real curry roux. S&B Golden Curry uses S&B's original curry powder blend, giving you authentic depth that bouillon alone cannot match.
Can this curry be part of a balanced plant-based meal plan?
Yes. Pair it with brown rice, a side of greens, and a protein source like tofu, tempeh, or legumes, and you have a complete plant-based bowl that supports a balanced weekly meal plan.
How do I cook S&B Golden Curry from a box?
Sauté an onion, protein, and vegetables of choice in a pot, add water to cover, and simmer until everything is tender. Break off one or two curry cubes, drop them into the pot, and stir until fully melted. The sauce will thicken as it simmers, and the curry is ready in about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve over rice, noodles, or bread.
Can I make this in a rice cooker or slow cooker?
Yes. For a rice cooker, add rice, water, and a curry cube directly to the pot and start the cycle. For a slow cooker, add protein, vegetables, and liquid, cook on low for several hours, and stir in the curry cubes during the last 30 minutes so they melt smoothly into the sauce.
How can I make the curry thicker or thinner?
To thicken, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes or stir in a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in cold water. To thin, add more water, broth, or even a splash of milk until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
Does S&B Golden Curry work with rice, noodles, and bread?
Yes. The thick sauce pairs well with white or brown rice, udon or ramen noodles, and flatbreads like naan or pita. The dish works as a curry over starch, a dipping sauce, or a stew.
Can I use this curry for non-Japanese cuisines like Indian, Thai, or Jamaican curry?
Yes. Many home cooks use S&B Golden Curry as the flavor base for Indian, Thai, and Jamaican-style curries by adding coconut milk, extra spices, or regional ingredients. It is a versatile pantry staple that spans multiple cuisines.
What is in the box when I open it?
Each 7.8 oz box contains two individual foil-wrapped portions, and each portion is scored into four breakable squares, giving you eight small cubes per box. The individually wrapped portions let you break off only what you need and store the rest in the pantry. You only need a pot, a spoon, and basic pantry ingredients like onion, potato, and a protein to start cooking.
Is S&B Golden Curry safe for vegetarians and people with dietary restrictions?
The curry blocks contain no meat, and most variants are vegetarian-friendly. They are built on S&B's original curry powder blend. As with any packaged food, check the current label for the latest allergen and ingredient information if you have specific restrictions.
Does the curry block contain artificial ingredients I should know about?
S&B Golden Curry is built on S&B's original curry powder blend and a dehydrated roux base. The recipe uses familiar pantry ingredients rather than obscure additives. For the most accurate ingredient list, always refer to the current product label.
What is the difference between a curry block, curry paste, and curry powder?
Curry powder is a dry spice blend that you toast and combine with a roux. Curry paste is a wet, oil-based blend that you sauté with aromatics. A curry block is a dehydrated, pre-made roux that contains the spices, flour, and oil, so it melts directly into hot liquid to create a finished sauce in one step. The block format is the most convenient of the three.
