Cuisine: Japanese
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 250g frozen udon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 175g extra firm tofu (cubed small)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 carrot (cut into strips)
  • 1 tsp Japanese curry powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 Japanese curry cube
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • fresh chives, garnish

Instructions

  • Place frozen udon on a plate and microwave for approximately 2 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure they thaw evenly and easily separate. 
  • Add oil to a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the tofu for 4-5 minutes until golden.
  • Add garlic, ginger, and carrots to the pan. Sauté for a minute, then stir in curry powder and soy sauce. Add Japanese curry cube, brown sugar, sriracha, and water.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring, and cook for 5 minutes or until it thickens and the curry cube has dissolved. Add the udon noodles and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste with 1 tsp of soy sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh chives or green onions.
