Delicious and comforting curry udon noodles.
A great Japanese winter noodle soup dish! My absolute favorite meal while living in Japan. Add udon to the curry broth all at once, or to each serving bowl.

Ingredients

  • 3 carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 small onion, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons red curry powder
  • 5 cups hot vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 8 ounces udon noodles, or more to taste

Directions

  • Step 1:
    Place carrots and onion in a microwave-safe bowl; add water. Cover and microwave on high until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Step 2:
    Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour to form a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder. Whisk in hot vegetable stock slowly until incorporated and smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir steamed carrots and onion, soy sauce, and maple syrup into the curry broth.
  • Step 3:
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook udon noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. Add noodles to curry broth.
