  酢豚

  The Cantonese classic (gū lōu yuk): cubes of pork coated in a light batter and fried until crisp, then tossed in a glossy sweet-and-sour sauce with pineapple, bell pepper and onion. The contrast of crunchy pork and bright, tangy, glistening sauce is what makes it a takeaway favourite the world over — far better made fresh.

  カツカレー

  Japan's ultimate comfort plate: a thick, mild, slightly sweet curry sauce ladled over rice and a crisp panko-crumbed cutlet (katsu). The sauce is built on a roux with onion, carrot and warm curry spices; the katsu shatters under the fork. Endlessly popular in Japanese homes and diners — and far better than the instant-cube shortcut.
