Cooking Steps

Prep the Chicken
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Fill your kettle and pop it on to boil for the laksa. Zest and halve the lime. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Put the chicken into a medium bowl with the lime zest, olive oil (see ingredients for amount) and half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then mix together. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging

Get Cooking
2

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the noodles. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan and cook until browned, 3-5 mins each side. Once browned, pop the chicken onto a baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. When cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest.

Cook the Noodles
3

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and set the pan aside. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together. While the noodles cook, trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Halve the baby corn lengthways. Slice the sugar snap peas in half lengthways. Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed then finely chop. Roughly chop the peanuts.

Build the Flavour
4

Once the noodles are cooked, pop the (now empty) saucepan back on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. When the oil is hot, add the baby corn, sugar snap peas and half the spring onion. Stir-fry for 1-2 mins, then stir in the red Thai curry paste, remaining garlic and half the red chilli (add less if you don't like too much heat). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.

Simmer the Laksa
5

Add the coconut milk, chicken stock paste and the boiling water for the laksa (see ingredients for amount) from your kettle to the pan. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and sugar (see ingredients for amount), then simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins. Stir through the cooked noodles and heat through until piping hot, 1 min. Remove from the heat and squeeze in half the lime juice. Mix together, then taste and season with salt and more lime juice and sugar if needed.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything is ready, slice the chicken widthways into five. Spoon the laksa into large bowls, then top with the sliced chicken. Serve up your ultimate coconut red curry chicken laksa with the peanuts, remaining spring onion and red chilli (if you'd like some heat) scattered over the top to finish. Cut any remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The coconut and peanut butter sauce is a highlight for many, though some find the overall flavour mild and feel it benefits from extra chilli or curry paste.
  • Ease of prep: Most find this straightforward to cook, though the number of ingredients means prep can take a little longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Reduce the water added to the laksa to help the sauce thicken and intensify the flavour; adding a splash of fish sauce or extra red Thai paste can also boost depth. Add sugar snap peas later in cooking to keep them crisp rather than soft.
  • Next-day meals: The dish reheats well and tastes great the next day, though the noodles absorb the sauce quickly, so consider storing them separately.
  • Portions: Using only half the noodles provided helps balance the ratio of noodles to sauce and vegetables.
