    I made curry noodle soup in a clay pot.It's a sister to the stewed miso udon noodles.Please adjust the amount of dashi base according to the size of your clay pot. You can use pork or onions instead of chicken. The egg will be cooked with remaining heat so take the pot from the heat shortly after you cover the pot. You can cook the egg to the doneness of your liking but I like it soft-poached. Recipe by Bananazakuro

    I like to have curry nanban for lunch. In my mind, it's curry udon if I make it with curry roux, and curry nanban if I make it with curry powder.Grate the potato to form a natural thickening agent. The flavor of the potatoes makes the sauce even tastier.If the sauce is not thick enough, add a little katakuriko dissolved in water and adjust. If it's too thick, just add a little water. A tiny bit of miso adds depth. For enough broth for 4 servings - using 1200 ml of water. Recipe by pegupepepe
