About Thai Curry Udon
Curry udon is a popular Japanese dish made with udon noodles and Japanese curry. It is loved all over Japan and is one of the most loved and popular dish. This dish is slightly different, it uses green curry paste from Thailand to make the curry sauce. The sauce has peanut butter and coconut milk used to create a thick silky velvety sauce.
I used tofu and chicken in the sauce to make it more protein rich and substantial. But you can use any vegetables like bok choy, mushrooms, cabbage or bean sprouts. You can use brinjal, tomatoes, Thai eggplants, green beans for more Thai inspired.
The recipe is very simple to put together. All you need is to saute green curry paste with coconut milk for few minutes. Add in peanut butter, coconut milk, chicken stock along with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar.
Bring this to a full boil, add in cubed chicken and tofu. Simmer until oil floats on top. That's it. Your curry sauce is ready. You can pour this over cooked udon noodles, top with boiled eggs, chilli oil, coriander leaves and enjoy.
