Add the beef back to the pot and pour in the dashi broth. Bring to a boil.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes and cook (simmer) until soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Add the curry paste and stir until it dissolves and the broth is thickened. Add additional salt to taste.

Step 8

Place the udon noodles in a bowl and pour the curry on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and fried garlic.
