Equipment

Ingredients

Udon & Beef Curry

  • 6 oz thinly sliced beef see note 1
  • ½ onion thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 blocks Japanese curry blocks
  • 2 servings udon

Optional Garnishes

  • Scallions
  • Pickled ginger

Instructions

  • Finely slice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat a little oil in a pan, add the garlic and onions, and cook for a couple of minutes until softened.
  • Add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry until browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Add the Japanese curry roux blocks and stir until dissolved, letting the sauce thicken to your liking.
  • Meanwhile, boil the udon noodles until al dente, then drain. Place the noodles into a serving bowl and ladle the beef curry mixture on top.
  • Optionally garnish with scallions and pickled ginger.

Notes

(1) Any thinly sliced beef works, I used thinly sliced chuck in this, but ribeye or brisket works too.
