Tips

  • Rinse the udon noodles after boiling – This helps remove excess starch so the noodles don’t clump together and stir-fry more evenly.

  • Use Japanese curry powder – It adds that signature cozy flavor without needing to make curry from scratch.

  • Toss in whatever veggies you have on hand – It’s a great clean-out-the-fridge recipe, and the flavor of the sauce ties everything together.

  • Instead of using curry powder melt a small piece of the curry roux block in a bit of hot water (about 2–3 tablespoons) to create a thick, flavorful sauce. Then, add that sauce to your stir-fried veggies and noodles at the end.
