Instructions

Cook the Noodles
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the noodles. Fill and boil your kettle for the laksa.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and halve the green beans.

When your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and green beans cook until tender, 4 mins. 

Finish the Prep
2

While the noodles cook, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin. Halve the lime.

Once the noodles and beans are cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together. Set the sieve of noodles to one side.

Flavour Time
3

Pop the (now empty) saucepan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the red Thai style paste, garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.

Add the coconut milk, chicken stock paste and boiled water for the laksa (see pantry for amount) from your kettle to the pan. 

Poach the Chicken
4

Stir the peanut butter and sugar (see pantry for amount) into the sauce until well combined.

Stir in the chicken and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Combine your Laksa
5

Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, stir in the cooked noodles and green beans and heat through until piping hot, 1 min, then remove from the heat. Add a splash of water to loosen if needed - it should be a soupy consistency.

Squeeze in half the lime juice. Mix together, then taste and season with salt, more lime juice and sugar if needed.

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, spoon your ultimate coconut chicken laksa into large bowls.

Serve with the peanuts and remaining chilli flakes (if you'd like a bit more heat) sprinkled on top.

Cut any remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
