Top Questions

Can I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones?

The answer is yes! Canned tomatoes can be a great substitute, especially if fresh ones are not in season. Just be sure to choose a high-quality brand that has minimal additives.


Can I make this dish vegetarian-friendly?

Absolutely! Simply omit the beef and replace it with your favorite vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini. The tomato sauce will still provide a rich and flavorful base for your udon noodles.

Can I use other types of soup paste instead of Japanese curry?

Certainly! Adding a small amount of Tom-Yum soup paste can enhance the spicy flavor of seafood dishes. This paste is known for its distinct taste, which combines elements of sourness, spiciness, and aromatic herbs. Or you can skip simply any soup paste and the rich tomato soup itself is a guaranteed success.
