Method

To make the noodles:

- Pour flour and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix well and then add water to the bowl.

- Mix the flour and knead the dough for about 15-20 minutes until the dough is smooth.

- Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature.

- After 1 hour, rub a little flour on the surface of the rolling pin, then roll the dough until it is 0.5cm thick.

- Cut into 0.5cm wide noodles.

- Coat a little more flour on the noodles and shake the flour evenly so that the noodles do not stick together.

- Boil the noodles in boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then take out the noodles and dip them in cold water. Let the noodles drain.

To make the curry soup:

- Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Wash the spring onions, remove roots, cut into small pieces, keep the white onion head and green onion leaves separate.

- Heat the pot on high heat and then add cooking oil to the pot. Next, add the onion and white onion head and sautee for about 3-4 minutes.

- Put the meat in and stir-fry with onions until the meat is just cooked, then add the sake.

- Put the dashi stock in the pot, cover the pot, reduce the heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until boiling.

- Skim off the foam floating on the surface of the pot of water, then cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes until the meat is tender.

- Meanwhile, divide the cooked noodles into bowls.

- When the pork and onions are soft, put the curry roux cubes in the pot and stir to dissolve until the sauce is just right.

- Ladle the curry soup into a bowl of udon noodles, sprinkle with spring onions and serve immediately when still hot. VNS
