5 Minutes After Getting Home: Layered Stews and Meal Prep That Save Me - [Fermentation x Layered Stew x Spices] Bean Soup Curry

Today, I'm making soup curry by combining steamed beans and a layered stew.
I added some chicken ham that I had sous-vide cooked.

To finish, I added thinly sliced garlic and heated it through.
The garlic's pungent aroma softens, and only its savory flavor melts smoothly into the soup.

Since the base is the savory flavor of the layered stew, the seasoning is very simple.
Just quickly add chili powder, turmeric, cumin, and paprika.
Because it's just a matter of combining ingredients, it's finished in no time.
After adding the spices, just taste it and adjust with a tiny bit of salt, and it's ready.

The fluffy texture of the steamed beans adds a natural sweetness and a sense of satisfaction.
The aroma of the spices rises, making this a dish that warms you gently from the inside out.

The chicken ham is a meal-prep item I cooked sous-vide with salt koji and oregano.
Because it was cooked slowly at a low temperature, it is moist and tender.
The power of fermentation brings out the savory flavor, and it also provides a solid source of protein.

And for dessert, I had homemade yogurt topped with banana.
Its gentle sweetness mellows out the lingering notes of the spices.

Preparing a little bit of food in advance
helps me out.
Even on busy days, I don't have to
give up on nutrition and deliciousness.

The plant-based protein from steamed beans,
the animal protein from chicken ham and yogurt,
the power of vegetables from the layered stew,
the spices that promote circulation,
and the power of fermentation that regulates the gut.

Our bodies are built from what we eat.
These small, consistent efforts support me today.
