Japanese Curry Ramen

Japanese curry (Kare) is thicker, sweeter, and milder than its Indian ancestor. In this ramen, that thick, spiced sauce blends with soup broth, creating an incredibly rich, warming dish. Potato and carrot starches naturally thicken the soup further, coating noodles like a gravy. No better medicine for cold winter nights.

Recipe FAQ

Soup is too thin.
Cook longer uncovered to let potatoes break down slightly, or mash a few potato cubes in it.
Can I use curry powder?
Japanese curry cubes (roux) contain fat and thickener. Powder alone makes a thin soup lacking creaminess.
