Microwave Fat-Burning Morning Curry

A chicken curry you can make with nothing but a microwave — no knife, no cutting board, no stove. Using canned yakitori along with its sauce lets the smoky char-grilled aroma and savory depth melt into the curry, giving it a richness you'd never expect from microwave cooking. Swapping curry roux for curry powder cuts carbs, fat, and sodium, while the spices warm your body and boost your metabolism — a high-protein, low-fat curry perfect for breakfast. Finish it off with a soft-poached egg made in the microwave in just 40 seconds.
