Instructions

1

Cut each chicken thigh into 2cm pieces.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 8-10 mins.

Turn every 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2

While the chicken fries, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into pieces about 0.5cm thick.

Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

3

Once your chicken has finished cooking, remove pan from the heat. Cover the chicken and set aside.

Put the pan back on medium-high heat (no need to clean) with another drizzle of oil (if needed).

Once hot, add the carrot to the frying pan and cook until starting to soften, 8-10 mins. 

4

Add the curry powder mix, ginger puree and garlic to the veg and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins more.

Stir in the coconut milk, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring up to a boil, then lower to a simmer. 

Add the chicken back into the pan along with the young pea pods and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 mins. 

5

Once your sauce has thickened, add the rice noodles to the pan. Gently toss to coat and simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. 

Add a splash of water if the sauce is looking a little thick.

6

Share your chicken noodles between your serving bowls.

Top with a sprinkling of peanuts.

Enjoy!

  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it ideal for a weeknight meal, though some noted considerable preparation time for the chicken.
  • Suggestions: Consider swapping rice noodles for rice if preferred; gently incorporate noodles to prevent breaking and clumping.
