This Vegan Curry Udon is:

  • perfectly spicy
  • packed full of veggies
  • so comforting!

Vegan Curry Udon (GF)

Curry Udon is a popular Japanese dish that consists of a Japanese Curry-like broth filled with thick, chewy udon noodles and vegetables.

The recipe for the curry soup was inspired by my Gluten-Free Vegan Japanese Curry, which is easy to make and so delicious: it’s rich and creamy, subtly spiced and salty-sweet. This recipe here differs slightly as it includes a lot more water to create a more soup-like consistency.

Whilst udon noodles aren’t traditionally gluten-free, you can find gluten-free ones nowadays, either online or in some Asian supermarkets. If you can’t get hold of udon noodles, you could alternatively use soba (buckwheat) noodles, rice noodles, or even spiralised vegetables!

As for veggies, you can use any you like! I went for:

  • Carrots
  • Mushrooms
  • Sugar-snap peas
  • Spinach

For extra protein, you could add tofu, green peas, chickpeas, or anything else you fancy!

You can top this Vegan Curry Udon with pickled ginger and sliced spring onions, if you like. It’s delicious on its own, but also goes well with this Wagamama-Inspired Salad.

    I’m getting so hungry now! When you say curry powder, do you mean a regular mild curry powder?

      Haha thank you! You can use a mild curry powder, or a spicy one, depending on how spicy you want it to be!

    I made it for lunch and loved it! I added some chilli powder at the end for some extra kick but it was wonderful! Thank you.
