Everybody loves curry. Indian butter chicken curry, Thai green curry, Massaman curry… Too many favorites! There’s something addictive about these spices hmmm.
When you think of traditional udon, you would think of traditional dashi (Japanese broth) but udon incredibly goes well with curry as well. And this recipe makes it super easy to make to please give it try!
Ingredients (Serving 1)
- 40g sliced pork belly
- 1/8 leek or onion
- 1 cube of Japanese curry roux
- 1 tablespoon of 2x concentrated mentsuyu
- 200ml water
- 1 serving of udon (frozen, chilled, or fresh. NOT dried ones)
- 1 teaspoon potato starch
Instructions
This is the instructions for using chilled or fresh udon noodles (not frozen ones). Please refer to notes for using frozen udon.

Notes
- If you are using frozen noodles, you can place it in the bowl together with all the other ingredients and microwave on medium high (600 watts) for 6 minutes.
- When pouring in watered starch to thicken the soup, pour it in while the soup is boiling hot. Otherwise, it is not going to thicken the soup.
