Method

Cut the vegetables into chunks: To make your Curry Udon, start by cutting the onion, potato and carrot into small chunks before adding them to a pan filled with 120ml water per curry roux block.

Simmer the vegetables: Bring the water to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables soften.

Add the curry roux: Add 2-3 blocks of curry roux (depending on quantity of water) to the pot and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Keep stirring until the curry sauce is thick and smooth.

Prepare the noodle soup: Add 4 tablespoons of tsuyu soup stock to 400ml water and boil in a separate pan to make the noodle soup.

Boil the udon noodles: Boil the udon noodles in hot water for a few minutes before draining well in a colander.

Garnish and serve: Place your cooked udon noodles in a bowl, add the noodle soup and then your curry sauce on top. Finally, garnish with sliced spring onions and serve immediately.
