"Curry is just as popular in Japan as ramen and sushi, and instant curry cubes are pantry staples in Japanese households. Although you can find the cubes in most Asian supermarkets, this recipe relies on a homemade roux that’s preservative-free without sacrificing any flavor. Combined with beef broth (or dashi, if you have it), this is a sweet and hearty curry that almost clings to the udon noodles—a perfect dish for clearing up the sinuses. Scatter a pinch of shichimi togarashi (seven spice) over the bowl for an additional layer of heat."
