Step 1: Simmer the Base & Hard Veggies (5 Mins)
Leave the Ninja SmartLid open. Move the slider to the Air Fry/Hob position.
Turn the dial to select Sear/Sauté and set the temperature to MD:HI (Level 4). Press START/STOP.
Pour in the 600ml of water, mentsuyu, Kikkoman less salt soy sauce, and hondashi.
Drop in your sliced yellow onion, carrots, and yellow zucchini. Bring to a steady boil and let it bubble for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables and sweeten the broth base.
Step 2: Dissolve the Curry Roux (2 Mins)
Turn the Sear/Sauté setting down to MD (Level 3) or LO (Level 2) to lower the heat slightly.
Drop in your 2 blocks of curry roux. Stir smoothly and continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the blocks are entirely dissolved into a rich, velvety curry sauce.
Step 3: Drop the Frozen Udon & Mushrooms (5 Mins)
Slide your 2 frozen udon bricks directly into the hot curry sauce (no thawing needed!).
Pile your mini king oysters, shiitakes, and enoki mushrooms into the pot around the noodles.
Let everything simmer gently with the lid open for about 4 to 5 minutes. As the frozen bricks thaw and loosen, gently use chopsticks or silicone tongs to separate the strands and coat them in the sauce.
Step 4: Flash-Cook the Pork & Greens (2 Mins)
Carefully peel your sukiyaki pork slices apart so they don't clump up. Lay the individual ribbons loosely into the bubbling sauce.
Tuck your Nai Bai leaves directly into the liquid around the edges.
Stir gently for 60 to 90 seconds. The residual heat of the thick curry will flash-cook the thin sukiyaki pork to perfect tenderness almost instantly.
Step 5: Turn Off & Garnish
Press the START/STOP button to turn off the Ninja.
Ladle the thick, glossy curry udon and its mountain of toppings into two large bowls.
Garnish generously with your chopped fresh spring onions for that bright, crisp finish. Enjoy!
