Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Place a wide-based pan (ideally non-stick and with a matching lid) over a medium-high heat with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
When hot, add the chicken and colour on each side for 3 min or until golden
Season each side generously with salt
2
Once golden, add a splash of water (approx. 2-3 tbsp) and cover immediately with a lid (stand back as it will spit!)
Tip: The trapped water creates steam for even cooking
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for a further 7-10 min or until the chicken is cooked through, lowering the heat if necessary
3
Meanwhile, boil a kettle for step 5
Peel and cut the carrots into bite-size pieces, discarding the root ends
Trim the green beans and cut them in half widthways
Soak the coconut cream sachet(s) in a bowl of very hot water (this softens it)
4
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a clean chopping board and allow to rest for 5 min
Add the carrot to the same pan with a large pinch of salt
Cook over a medium-high heat for 3 min or until coloured and caramelised
5
Meanwhile, add the noodles to a pot of salted boiling water (enough to cover them) on a high heat
Boil for 5-7 min or until cooked through but with a slight bite
Once cooked, drain and briefly rinse them under cold, running water until cooled slightly, then return them to the pot off the heat
6
Meanwhile, add the green beans to the caramelised carrots and cover again with a lid
Cook for 5 min over a medium-low heat or until both vegetables are tender
Meanwhile, peel and chop (or grate) the garlic finely
7
Combine the tamarind paste, coconut cream, honey, soy sauce and garlic with 50ml (100ml) boiled water
Mix well - this is your tamarind sauce
Shred the chicken with two forks, 'pulling' at the chicken to tear it
Chop the spring onions finely, discarding the root ends
