This anime recipe is equal parts protein-packed and comforting! Demon Slayer (aka Kimetsu no Yaiba in Japanese) is one of my favorite anime. Even though it is newer on the scene, it has quickly captured my heart with the lovable characters and absolutely stunning animation.
In honor of the movie making its way to the United States, I whipped up Tanjiro's udon dish that he orders in the first season of the anime. This udon looked delicious and it absolutely was. The flavor combination here was so wonderful. I took some creative liberty with the broth and focused more on the toppings and plating for screen accuracy.
The key to getting your sunny side up egg to cover nearly the entire bowl without the extra yolks? All you have to do is add extra egg whites when you're making it. The toppings rest on top of the soft egg with the help of the thick noodles in the broth beneath it.
Udon noodles, if you've never had them, are the ultimate comfort noodle. They're thick, a little chewy, and absolutely wonderful in a hot soup. They're also great stir-fried for a yakiudon style dish! This dish would also be great with soba noodles, but the thickness of the noodle does help support the egg when plating. ingredients (serves 4)

the verdict
This dish was so tasty and the flavor profiles all really complemented each other. It was super filling and definitely had a good deal of protein thanks to the egg and chicken combo. I rate it a 10/10 for flavor.
I'd definitely make this again! It was super simple to make, too. If you don't want to roast your own chicken, you can buy Perdue chicken pre-made in your grocery store. They're in the refrigerated section, usually near bacon and deli meats. This gets a 10/10 for ease of recreation, too! Have a food from an anime that you want me to try to recreate?

We're making a Naruto recipe today that has me a bit nervous, but also excited... the Curry of Life! The Curry of Life makes its appearance in Episode 153. Rock Lee loves the Curry of Life, and this curry is even known to revive people from unconsciousness or heal them from the brink of death due to its extreme spiciness. I am a weak baby when it comes to spicy foods, so I'll be using standard sriracha. We'll be calling it the Neji Version, since Neji doesn't have a high spicy food tolerance either. Look for that if you're not a fan of super spicy, either! However, Anthony has a higher tolerance - and willingness - to try extremely spicy foods, so he'll be trying the true Curry of Life. We'll call this the Rock Lee version. If you want something more in the middle of the road, look for the Naruto version. A few years ago, Anthony's coworkers had a contest to see who could make it the furthest. One of his coworkers is a hot sauce connoisseur that brought in a bunch for people to try with wings, and Anthony actually made it to the very end... despite some dripping on his chin and making his face go numb as a result. Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition. Buy it on Amazon. The hot sauce he got for this recipe is even hotter than the hottest one his coworker brought in to work that day. He'll be using the Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition, which clocks in at 1 million Scoville units. It includes the world's three hottest peppers: the Carolina Reaper Pepper, Scorpion Pepper, and Ghost Pepper. The bottle even includes a legal disclaimer saying that you're not inebriated, you understand the risks, and you'll tread with caution... and you won't sue the company if you don't. It includes a little bullet-shaped keychain that holds a serving spoon, and it is tiny. What we'll be doing is adding our spicy element after we've already made our curry, so that way we can have some not-spicy-curry available in case it's too much. Then, you get to customize your heat levels each time. ingredients
