METHOD
- 01Gather all the ingredients. If using block curry roux, break it into cubes. Prepare your dashi.
- 02Thinly slice the onion and finely chop the green onions.
- 03In a medium pot, heat oil on medium heat and add the sliced onion.
- 04Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, then add the pork.
- 05Cook the pork until it is almost no longer pink, then add the sake.
- 06Add the dashi and cover with the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
- 07While simmering, skim off any scum and fat from the surface of the stock.
- 08Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the udon noodles.
- 09After 5 minutes of simmering the broth, turn off the heat. Place the curry roux cubes in a ladle and submerge it in the broth.
- 10Using chopsticks or a spoon, slowly dissolve the roux completely within the ladle before releasing it into the main pot to avoid lumps.
- 11Stir in the soy sauce until well combined. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
- 12Cook the udon noodles according to package instructions.
- 13Drain the cooked noodles well and divide them into two serving bowls. Pour the hot curry broth over the noodles, top with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
