Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Cut the slices of pork into 1¼ inch pieces. Heat the oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat and sauté the pork until the meat turns pale. Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add the dashi, mirin and soy sauce and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onion is tender. Crumble the curry sauce mix cubes and add them to the pan. Cook, stirring regularly, for another 3 minutes until the curry sauce mix blends into the soup and thickens it.
Step 2
Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain the noodles and divide between four bowls. Pour the soup over the noodles. Garnish with spring onion and serve immediately.
