Curry Udon is one of the popular comfort foods in Japan.
It’s super easy to make because many people use pre-made/store-bought curry roux.
I used to be one of them, but when I checked their long list of ingredients, I was not very excited.
And when I saw an unattractive blob that jiggled like gelatin sitting at the bottom of a pot the next morning, I told myself “that’s it!”
So I made this Japanese-style curry from scratch.
It turned out great.
So great that I almost got confused.
Why didn’t I make it from scratch if you can make it this tasty and easy, and without ingredients unwanted!

1~1.5 tablespoons canola oil

2. Add water and Kombu sheet. Boil and then turn down to low heat.

It was time for me to get a “paper” calendar.
Terry always reminded me that I had a calendar on my phone, but it wasn’t the same!
I do love a lot of apps, gadgets, and technology, but when it comes to the calendar, I’m old-fashioned, I guess.
