Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x baking tray lined with foil
- 1x large non-stick saucepan
Grill the chicken
- Heat your grill to high.
- Put the chicken on a baking tray lined with foil, spritz with cooking spray and grill for 10-12 mins, until cooked through.
Chop, chop!
- Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut each into 8 wedges. Deseed and slice the peppers. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-size pieces.
- Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions and peppers for 5-7 mins.
Simmer the noodles
- Stir in the curry powder, half the lemongrass and half the garlic paste, then cook for 1 min.
- Add the stock powder and pour in 800ml boiled water (1.5 litres for 4 portions), then add the pak choi and noodles. Stir to submerge the noodles, then simmer for 5-6 mins, until theyʼre soft.
Ramp up the flavour
- At the same time, finely chop the coriander.
- On a separate board, roughly slice the grilled chicken. Squeeze the remaining lemongrass and garlic paste over the top, scatter over the coriander and mix on the board to coat the chicken.
Add your final touches
- Cut half a lime (a whole lime for 4 portions) into wedges. Squeeze the juice (to taste) from the remaining lime into the noodles.
- Divide the noodles between bowls, top with the chicken and a lime wedge and serve.
