creative_cooks | Chicken Laksa (2 portions)

Ingredients:

- 1 green pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- One red chilli
- 1 spring onion
- 35g red thai curry paste
- 200 ml coconut milk
- Chicken stock pot
- 400ml boiling water (for the stock)
- Scoop of peanut butter
- 210g diced chicken
- Packet of stir fry noodles (or two nests of thin egg noodles)
- 1/2 a lime, juiced

Method:

1. Heat large pan and some oil on medium heat. Add chopped pepper (thin, lengthways), garlic, chilli, and spring onion. After a couple of minutes add the red thai curry paste and stir together.

2. Pour in the coconut milk and stir. Add the chicken stock.

3. Bring to a simmer. Add peanut butter and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Cook chicken on medium-high heat in an oiled pan for 8-10 minutes.

5. Add noodles to laksa and cook for 4 minutes.

6. Add the chicken, cook for 2 minutes. Remove from stove, add the lime juice plus some salt and pepper.

Note: Laksa is essentially a sort of noodle stew. It's very flavourful and best cooked in a large pan as you add a lot of liquid ingredients.
