When you’re looking for a hug in the form of a meal, Japanese Curry Udon is the dish for you! While Curry Rice (which you can make using the recipe on the back of the pack of Masi Masa Japanese Gold Curry) is more well known, Curry Udon is also a thing in Japan.

We’ve made this recipe vegetarian and simple, using egg mixed into the curry for protein. But other traditional toppings include thinly sliced roasted pork, potatoes and carrots, and hard boiled eggs.

Itadakimasu!

It’s really easy to make your own seafood dashi (broth) by soaking dried kombu (seaweed) and bonito flakes in hot water. If you’re vegetarian/vegan, substitute seafood dashi with a miso broth like this one from Halo or a vegetable broth.

Directions

Make Dashi

Place 2” wide strip of dried kombu (kelp seaweed) and ½ cup bonito flakes in a bowl, cover with 4 cups of hot water and soak for 15 minutes. Strain and set broth aside (throw away solids)

Cook Noodles

Cook udon noodles according to the directions on the package. Strain, rinse, and set aside.

Make Curry Broth

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tsp coconut oil or butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté, stirring often until transparent, about 2 minutes.
Add 4 cups dashi and sliced mushrooms. Then add 2 TBSP soy sauce, 1 tsp sake, and 1 tsp sugar and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 pack Masi Masa Japanese Gold Curry Spice Blend, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 TBSP cornstarch and 3 TBSP water to make a slurry. Stir slurry into curry broth until it thickens.
In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs. Stir beaten eggs quickly into curry broth to break up the eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
To serve, divide the udon noodles into 2-3 soup bowls, scoop curry broth over noodles and garnish with sliced green onions.
