Curry Udon

Ingredients

Udon noodles

2 servings

Green onions

2, chopped

Sugar

1 tablespoon

Mirin

2 tablespoons

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Chicken or vegetable broth

4 cups

Potato

1 medium, diced

Carrot

1 medium, sliced

Onion

1 medium, sliced

Curry roux

4 ounces (about 1 block)

Cooking oil

2 tablespoons

Instructions

1. Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, carrot, and diced potato, cooking until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add the curry roux blocks to the pot, stirring until they completely dissolve and the broth thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Stir in the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
6. Add the cooked udon noodles to the pot, simmering for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve the curry udon in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions. Optionally, add a dash of shichimi togarashi for an extra kick.
