Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour
1 -2 tablespoon curry powder
5 cups vegetable stock or 5 cups mushroom stock
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons maple syrup or 2 teaspoons other artificial sweetener
8 -10 ounces udon noodles
water, for boiling udon noodles
3 -4 scallions or 3 -4 green onions, chopped

Steps:

In a 2 quart saucepan, heat the oil. Add the flour and cook, stirring for a minute over low heat. Add the curry powder and cook another minute. Whisk in the hot vegetable stock all at once: it will thicken almost instantaneously. Add the soy sauce and syrup and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
Cook the udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water. When al dente, drain well, rinse and place into 4 large bowls. Fill each bowl with curry sauce, top with scallions and serve immediately.
