Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 9 tablespoons water

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a preheated pan without oil, use only the chicken thigh's own fat to pan-fry both sides until the surface is crispy.
  2. Cut the golden brown chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces, then add sliced onion to the pan together.
  3. Over high heat, stir-fry thoroughly until the seared color of the meat and the color of the onion reach a similar deep brown hue.
  4. Pour 9 tablespoons of water into the pan, add 2 tablespoons of curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, and stir evenly to dissolve without lumps.
  5. When the curry sauce comes to a bubbling boil, add the udon noodles, immediately cover with a lid, and let sit for about 1 minute.
  6. Remove the lid, gently loosen the noodles while stir-frying to evenly coat with the sauce, and adjust the amount of liquid to achieve the desired consistency.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you add too much soy sauce to the curry powder base, it can easily become salty, so measure exactly 1/2 teaspoon to enhance the aroma.
  • For a dry, chewy stir-fried noodle texture, reduce the sauce thoroughly; for a moister style, add a little water during stir-frying to achieve your preferred consistency.
