Today was hard. I was feeling weak and dizzy from not eating enough, but I pushed myself to try to make something with what I had. Even if I thought I wasn’t going to be able to make something hearty, I tried anyway. I ended up with something delicious. I cooked spicy Japanese curry served over Uncle Ben’s rice. The curry box was great, as it contained 5 servings and was under $5 at my local Korean market. I used a can of mixed vegetables with the 2 vegetables I did have: onion and carrot. I also tossed some coleslaw mix I had leftover. I simmered the veggies in chicken broth and oil, adding as many spices as I could. Cayenne, black pepper, celery seed, chili oil. For a touch of sweetness and fiber I chopped 2 dates into it as well. Then I let two eggs simmer in the middle with the lid on the pot. As the final touch I mixed in some coconut milk and topped it over rice. It was filling and delicious! A nice hot meal that really felt home-cooked.

I hope my description is sufficient for a recipe. I didn’t measure anything unfortunately.

Good for you! I’m sorry you’ve been hungry and battling such difficulties. Your creation sounds delicious and I’m so glad that you could feel it nourishing your body as well as your soul! Keep it up, this is an excellent way to get creative in the kitchen as I frequently do the same. 🙂
How much did you pay for the Japanese curry box? You can find them for around $3.
