Karei Udon (Japanese Style Curry Udon Noodles)

Noodles - Udon - -

INGREDIENTS

4 T oil
1/2 cup plus 2 T flour
1-2 T curry powder
5 cups hot vegetable or mushroom stock
4 T soy sauce
2 t maple syrup or other sweetener
8-10 oz / 230-280 g udon noodles, or 4 bundles
Water for boiling udon noodles
3-4 scallions or green onions, chopped

METHOD

In a 2 quart / 2 L saucepan, heat the oil. Add the flour and cook, stirring for a minute over low heat. Add the curry powder and cook another minute. Whisk in the hot vegetable stock all at once: it will thicken almost instantaneously. Add the soy sauce and sweetener and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Meanwhile, cook the udon in a large pot of boiling water. When al dente, drain well, rinse and place into 4 large bowls. Fill each bowl with curry sauce, top with scallions and serve immediately.

My husband and I really enjoyed these noodles--the curry sauce is so good, it's hard to believe that it's not fattening! Next time, I might try adding some steamed veggies and see how that works out.
