Ingredients · Servings 2
- 3 cups dashi
- 2 Japanese curry blocks
- ½ onion, sliced
- ½ carrot, chopped
- 150 g beef, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 servings frozen udon noodles
- 1 green onion, white and green parts, chopped, for garnish
Method · 25 min
- Heat a medium pot over high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and beef to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the beef is lightly browned, about 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in the dashi and add the curry blocks. Stir, using a sieve to help dissolve the curry blocks completely, then stir in the soy sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- While the curry simmers, cook the frozen udon according to package instructions, about 3 minutes. Drain and divide between serving bowls.
- Ladle the curry over the udon and top with the green onion. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Enjoy!
