Ingredients

4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup flour, plus
2 tablespoons flour
1 -2 tablespoon curry powder
5 cups vegetable stock or 5 cups mushroom stock
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons maple syrup or 2 teaspoons other artificial sweetener

Steps:

In a 2 quart saucepan, heat the oil. Add the flour and cook, stirring for a minute over low heat. Add the curry powder and cook another minute.

Cook the udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water. When al dente, drain well, rinse and place into 4 large bowls. Fill each bowl with curry sauce, top with scallions and serve immediately.
