Electric Lunch Box Curry Rice
Ingredients:
1/2 packet of boneless chicken thigh. (Skin removed and sliced into chunks. Marinate overnight with a teaspoon of sesame oil, tiny pinch of salt and pepper)
1/4 carrot, peeled and chopped into small chunks
1 potato (Potatoes oxidize very quickly when peeled/cut. So do this only when you are about to cook. If your office pantry doesn’t have knives/peelers then you may substitute this with other vegetables. I reckon broccoli will do fine too!)
2 cubes of Japanese Curry or homemade curry sauce
Instructions:
1. . When you are ready to cook, peel potato and slice into small chunks. The smaller it is, the faster it cooks.
2. Place the potato & carrot chunks into the electric lunch box’s larger metal tin. Pour in some hot water, just enough to cover the vegetables.
3. Fill the electric lunch box heater compartment 1/2 full with hot water. Place the larger metal tin in, cover and let it cook for 15mins.
4. After 15 mins, the vegetables should be almost cooked. Add the marinated chicken chunks and let it cook for another 15 mins. If you are having the curry with rice, you may start cooking the rice in the electric lunch box at this point.
5. After the next 15 mins, stir in the Japanese curry cubes. If the consistency is too thick, add a little hot water and stir. Eat this hot! (=

1 large egg (65g with shell)

1 teaspoon honey (or sugar)
