Curry senbei (okaki) Japanese Rice Crackers

Ingredients

20g rice flour
15 to 20g Japanese curry roux (grated) or 1/2 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/3 tsp sugar
20ml boiled water
150g steamed japanese rice (microwave it if the rice was frozen)
1 tbsp sesame

Instructions

1. In a heat-safe bowl, add rice flour, grated curry roux (or curry powder), sugar and salt. Mix well.
2. Slowly pour the boiled water, using a digital cooking scale. Mix with a silicone spatula until it comes together.
3. Add the steamed rice (microwave it 30s at 600W if it was frozen) and sesame. Knead with your hand (or spatula) until well combined. Pre-heat the oven to 200℃ degree.
4. Spoon some rice mixture (1 to 2 tbsp) and make a ball shape, then flatten it with your hand. Make it thinner using your finger. Place on a baking sheet on an oven tray. Repeat until you use up all the rice mixture.
NOTE : Thinner will make a more crispy senbei!
5. Bake the tray 10min, remove from the oven once and flip all the senbei. Then put it back to the oven and bake again for 10 min.
6. Transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

I also tried with a "Farine de riz complet" and it worked.

Leek tart flavored with curry

Persons

Ingredients

For the pastry

150g all-purpose flour (T55)
1 tbsp curry powder
80g butter
1 egg
dash of salt

For the filling

3 leek (about 600g) - cut into bite-size
2 garlic cloves - finely chopped

- Ingredient A -

1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp brown sugar

- Ingredient B -

2 eggs
90g heavy cream
100g yogurt
pepper and salt to taste
80g to 100g grated cheese

Instructions

1. Process flour, butter, curry powder, salt and egg in a food processor for a few seconds until the mixture becomes crumbly : do not process too much as the dough should remain crumbly.
2. Transfer the dough onto a work surface. Gather it into a ball shape of dough with hands.
3. To roll the dough: Put a plastic wrap covering on your work surface, place the dough on it. Then cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out into a circle shape bigger than your tart mold. Then place it gently into your tart mold. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges of the pastry to fit the tart pan. Prick the bottom and side of the tart thoroughly with a fork. Put it in the refrigerator or freezer until firm (about 30 minutes).
4. Preheat oven to 180C degree. Now that the dough is harder, line the tart with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights/dried beans.
5. Bake for 25 minutes and then remove the parchment and weights. Continue to bake for another 5 min at 180C degree or until the dough is just beginning to brown lightly. Cool on a wire rack until needed.
6. Meanwhile prepare the filling : In a skillet add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, fry the garlic until fragrant. Add leek and cook until leeks are caramelized and golden brown. Season with ingredient A and stir for a few more minute. Remove the heat and let cool to room temperature.
7. Spread the cold leeks over the pastry, then sprinkle grated cheese evenly. Preheat the oven to 180C° degree.
8. In a bowl, whisk together Ingredient B (eggs, heavy cream and yogurt). Season with salt and pepper, then pour the egg mixture gently over the leeks.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top turns nicely golden.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
