We have always been wanting to dine in Chef Alvin’s Bo Innovation because we really admire this molecular cooking method. The only time I tried his dishes was in Savour 2013 where I had the Molecular Xiao Long Bao and Bo Chicken Rice with Abalone Jelly. So I am excited about this and hope to win!

The boyfriend was suggesting me to cook bak kut teh jelly (inspired from Chef Alvin’s abalone jelly) and I think he thinks too highly of his girlfriend who knows nuts of molecular cuisine! It made me ponder for a day how to make the jelly! In the end, I decided to dump his idea and do what I do best – BENTO.

I always wanted to do a Cartoon Psy Bento and after doing some research, I did it. Before that, it’s time to do some cooking! Found some remaining Japanese curry cubes in the fridge and decided to cook it with potatoes, carrots and chicken. Definitely very easy to do and sauce and carrot makes it very sweet!

Ingredients (Serves 2):
4 Japanese curry cubes
2 carrots, peeled and cut to small chunks
1 potato, peeled and cut to small chunks
1 large onion, roughly chopped
200 to 300g boneless chicken fillet, cut to large chunks
3 tbsp cooking oil
700ml water

Method:
1. Heat wok with oil. Sauteed onions till soft.
2. Add in chicken chunk and stir fry till cooked.
3. Add potato and carrot, mix evenly.
4. Add water and bring to boil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Add in Japanese curry cubes. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

Note: You have to be careful for burning the curry. Because the potatoes and curry will make the curry thick and starchy, so do not simmer for too long.

Bento making:
1. Add some tomato sauce into rice, mix well.
2. Separate into 1 big portion and 2 small portions. Make the face and 2 hands.
3. Cut out the sunglasses, hair and nose from nori. Cut out the mouth using cheese.
4. Slowly pour the Japanese curry into the plate.

Here’s my creation!
