This saucy noodle dish is inspired by the slightly sweet, mellow curries that are hugely popular in Japan for lunch and dinner, or so we hear. A simple roux-based curry sauce is prepared first, then stirred into udon, bits of saut̩ed seitan, and crips veggies. Experiment Рchange the vegetables, use tofu in place of seitan, try different brands of curry powder Рthe variations are endless.
