Udon in curry soup! Though curry has its origin in India, Japanese curry has followed its own unique path and now tastes quite differently compared to the original one. Pork based curry soup spiced up with soy sauce and bonito with delicious chewy noodles. A Japanese favorite!

Looks to be mostly pork and some other bits.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, egg, kamaboko, barbecue pork, and spring onion. The udon came out nice and plump. Very thick and just what I expected – and enjoyable! The broth is extremely thick and has a salty curry flavor. I could’ve handled a little lighter on the saltiness. The included bits of meat were pretty good and the included kamaboko was about standard as you can get. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  JAN bar code 4901990333054.
