Mash up garlic, chili peppers, star anise and cloves into a paste.

Place the chicken on medium heat in olive oil. Chop the onion in large sections and saute it, the paste and lemongrass with the chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Brown up the chicken.

Fill stock pot with water. Add tomato, green pepper, kombu, and bay leaves. Pour in soy sauce. Season with turmeric, curry powder, chicken bouillon, sea salt and pepper.

Let it boil for an hour on medium heat. Then add in coconut milk, fish sauce and Thai basil. You may need to add more water too. Let the soup boil for another hour. I added an additional spoonful of chili paste for extra heat. Taste to make sure the salt and pepper is to your preference.

Separately make Udon noodles and combine your bowl.

Here’s the fish sauce I used. It contains no shellfish and is made from anchovies. So it’s clean. lol

This was my first time making this and boy I give a lot of respect to those take restaurants. It’s not as easy as it looks. On medium heat, cook the beef in a little vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once it is cooked through drain and put in a large mixing bowl. Mix all the egg patty ingredients.

Set the stove on a little lower than medium. Use a 1 cup measuring cup to scoop out the mixture. Fry the side until golden brown in vegetable oil. Flip fry the other side and remove from the heat.

In a sauce pan on medium you will make the gravy. Combine all the gravy ingredients and as it is cooking constantly whisk until it thickens up. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice with gravy.
