Before we get into the sauce, it’s worth noting that there’s no such thing as real Chinese curry. When it comes to traditional, regional Chinese cuisine, curry simply isn’t part of the equation.
As one could probably imagine, the stodgy night-out saviour consisting of chunky chips doused in a vague curry sauce, that can be ordered from both the chippy and local 24-hour Chinese takeaway (or an establishment that is often both) is a British perversion born out of our desire to consume distinctly beige food. Now, I’m not saying it’s not delicious; I’m merely stating facts.
