This is probably one of my favourite quick week day recipes. Not only does it only take 10 minutes to cook it's also got a bit of everything; spice, chicken, noodles and veg. I love to make a little extra so I can take it into work for lunch too. YUM!
To make this you'll need the following:
1 400ml tin of coconut milk
1 180g jar of Laksa paste
1 pint of vegetable stock
325g rice (vermicelli) noodles
200g cooked chicken (breast)
100g sugar snap peas
100g baby corn (roughly chopped)
1 glug of olive oil
Ideally you want to cook this in a wok but if you don't have one, cook the Laksa paste, baby corn and sugar snap peas in a frying pan and then put them in a saucepan ready to add the chicken, stock, coconut milk and rice noodles.
Heat the oil in the pan/ wok and add the sugar snap peas and baby corn. Cook for roughly 3 minutes or until the veg starts to brown. Add the whole jar of Laksa paste and cook together for a minute. Make sure you give the combo a good stir to release all the yummy flavours.
Next you want to add the whole tin of coconut milk followed by the chicken. Stir together for a minute and then add the stock. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes until the soup has reduced slightly then add the rice noodles. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes and then you're done! Feel free to add a handful of fresh chopped chili if you're feeling brave, or maybe some coriander if you're not. Then serve up in soup bowls!
This serves 2 comfortably with enough leftover for 1 large lunch or 2 small lunches the next day.
Let me know if any of you cook this yourselves! I'd love to see some pics!
Lots of Love,
DML
