Restaurant Quality Curry Udon Noodles
- 45 ml Mentsuyu soup(or use your favorite soup)
- 1/8 cube A - Store-bought curry roux
- 1 japanese tea scoop A - Soy sauce (optional)
- 1 to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Katakuriko
- 1/2 Thin aburaage
- 80 grams Any meat you like
- 1/4 to 1/5, medium Onion
- 1 pack Udon noodles
- 1 heaped tablespoon Sake
- 1 Japanese leeks (or any green onion or leeks you like)
- 30 ml Mirin
- 10 ml Sake
- 10 ml Usukuchi soy sauce
- 20 ml Soy sauce
- 340 ml Japanese dashi stock (or water + 2 teaspoons od dashi powder)
- Refer to.
- Put 360 ml of water and the soup base ingredients above in a sauce pan to make 405 ml of broth.
- This is the best ratio, I think.
- If you use store-bought noodle soup, mix the concentrated soup with 3 times the amount of water to make 400 ml of broth, or refer to the recipe below.
- Normally the ratio of 100 ml of concentrated mentsuyu soup base + 300 ml of water works well, but it differs according to the packages, so refer to the recipe below.
- Pour boiling water over the aburaage to remove excess oil and cut into 1 cm batons.
- Thinly slice the onion.
- Cut the meat into bite sized pieces.
- Slice the Japanese leek whatever way you like.
- Dissolve katakuriko with water to prepare a slurry.
- Stir well just before using during Step 16.
- Put Step 1 over heat and bring to a boil.
- Add Step 4 and simmer for 4 minutes.
- Keep the heat at low-medium to gently simmer the soup.
- If the heat is too high or the soup simmers too long, the soup is going to reduce too much.
- Follow the listed cooking time and keep it at the right heat.
- After Step 7 has simmered for 4 minutes, add the "A" ingredients.
- After the roux has melted completely, go to Step 13.
- If the udon noodles are not ready, turn off the heat.
- Place the udon noodles on a plate and sprinkle sake and microwave (I do it for a minute at 600 W).
- If you use frozen udon noodles, heat for 2.5-3 minutes at 600 W. You only need to defrost and flavour with sake here as the noodles will be cooked in the soup later.
- If you use dried udon noodles, cook for 1 minute less than instructed on the package, wash in cold water, and drain in a sieve.
- The udon noodle preparation should be done at the same time as Step 7.
- Add prepared udon noodles in Step 9 and cook for 1.5 minutes.
- The heat should be high at first, then reduced to low once it comes to a boil.
- Simmering the udon noodles in the soup is the key to this recipe.
- If you the cook the noodles separately and combine with the broth just when serving, they won't have the same deep flavor.
- I used to do like Step 14 when I was a student, but udon noodles cooked in base is much better.
- Add Step 6 to 13 to thicken and transfer to a serving bowl.
- In this photo, I used chicken and 1 tablespoon of katakuriko.
- Add more katakuriko if you prefer a thicker soup.
- This is the same photo as the profile photo with 1.5 tablespoons of katakuriko.
- Garnish with chopped Japanese leek.
- Serve and sprinkle shichimi spice if you like.
- I dislike curry udon that's just udon with curry poured over, but I also dislike curry that's thin and runny.
- I like this dish's thickness; it's just right.
- After many trials, this ratio of the curry roux and soup is the best.
- I like the abura-age absorbed with sweet-tasting onion and curry flavour.
- You can make a restaurant-quality dish at home easily.
- My long-time trials achieved this taste.
- Give it a try!
- 1 cube of curry roux is about 18 g. One packet of House brand curry roux usually has has 6 cubes.
- Use whatever roux you like.
- This concentrated noodle soup is very tasty with a savory bonito taste.
- I recommend this.
- .
- This is made with Japanese dashi powder.
- You can make this in 5 minutes and use as it is.
- I recommend this, too!
