Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

Prepare the Vegetables: Place carrots and onion in a microwave-safe bowl. Add water, cover, and microwave on high until tender, approximately 4 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

Create the Curry Base: Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and lightly golden.

03

Step
1 mins

Develop the Curry Flavor: Stir in red curry powder and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their fragrance.

04

Step
3 mins

Build the Broth: Gradually whisk in the hot vegetable stock, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated and smooth before adding more. Continue whisking until the broth is smooth and free of lumps, about 3 minutes.

05

Step
15 mins

Simmer and Infuse: Stir in the steamed carrots and onion, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.

06

Step
12 mins

Cook the Udon Noodles: While the broth simmers, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Cook udon noodles according to package directions, usually 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are tender yet firm to the bite. Drain well.

07

Step
2 mins

Combine and Serve: Add the cooked udon noodles to the curry broth. Stir to coat the noodles evenly. Ladle into bowls and garnish with your choice of toppings.

For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable stock or dashi.
Adjust the amount of red curry powder to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or a tablespoon of sugar.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as potatoes, mushrooms, or spinach.
If you want a spicier curry, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of chili oil.
For a smoother broth, you can use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables slightly before adding the noodles.
