1. whole-grain udon noodles 4 oz.
2. clarified butter 2 Tablespoons
  garlic 3 cloves, crushed
  onion 1, chopped
  red curry paste 1 teaspoon
3. chicken breast 1, sliced
  cauliflower ½ head, chopped
4. lite coconut milk 1 can
  chicken stock 2 cups
  turmeric 2 teaspoons
  shoyu (soy sauce) 2 Tablespoons
  cane sugar 1 Tablespoon
5. lime juice of 1 lime

1. In a medium-sized pot boil the water and cook the noodles until they are al dente then drain and set them aside.

2. In a large pot over medium-high heat cook melt the clarified butter, about one minute. Then add the garlic, onion, and curry paste. Stir the pot completely so that the curry paste is evenly spread throughout, then let it cook for a minute or two, until you can smell the true fragrance of the curry paste.

3. Add the chicken and cauliflower to the pot and stir until everything is fully coated with the curry paste and the chicken is starting to lose its pinkness.

4. Add all the broth ingredients to the pot, stir, and bring up to a simmer. Let everything simmer for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is entirely cooked through.

5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
