Japanese curry is a home cooking staple in Japan, with their most go-to dish being curry rice. Another curry dish that’s not as popular as curry rice, though just as delicious, is curry udon.

Creamy Curry Udon

This particular creamy curry udon recipe is a dish that’s inspired by the Japanese curry udon. I’ve made it so many times for my family and friends, and it’s become a favorite of many! Also, psst…it’s a big hit with the kids as well!

It has a creamy, slightly salty and flavorful sauce that pairs amazingly with udon. The key ingredient that makes this dish creamy is the cooking cream. However, if it’s not easily available to you, evaporated milk or whipping cream are both great alternatives.

    I really loved this recipe. I think the curry was surprisingly thick so I ended up adding about 2 tbsp of water. It was still thick but I didn’t want to push it. I really liked the simple ingredients. I’ll be making this again asap. Maybe tomorrow.

    I didn’t add parm because I, personally, thought that was more an additional kid-attractor. As a salt lover, I don’t think it affected the my enjoyment. I added ground pork because I love meat. I used fat free evaporated milk. I was FORCED to use a different story fry noodle because they were out of udon.

The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
