Ingredients:

Small pack of chicken wings

1 1/2 can of coconut milk

3 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 stalks lemongrass chopped

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 bay leaves

3 star anise

2 dried chili peppers

3 tablespoons chicken bouillon

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.

Avocado

Ahi Tuna steak cut in cubes

Rice

Seaweed salad

Sesame seeds as a garnish

Marinade Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic chopped

Sea salt

Black pepper

Ponzu sauce

Soy sauce

Sesame seed oil

Shichimi Togarashi

Sriracha sauce

I really like this meal after a long day of work. It doesn’t take that long to pull off. The only thing that I didn’t have was the seaweed salad. But I was able to pick some up at my neighborhood grocery store because they have a sushi bar section. So I literally walked in the door put the rice on in my rice cooker. Diced the tuna steaks and marinated it in the marinade ingredients for 30 minutes. I tossed tuna in some sesame seeds as a garnish. Then I assembled the ingredients in a bowl… remember rice at the bottom.
