Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Trim, then slice the spring onions
Bash the lemongrass with a rolling pin, cut it [them] down the middle lengthways, remove the tough outer layers (keep them for later!) and chop the softer inner stem[s]
Rip/tear the chestnut mushrooms (this saves time and creates an interesting texture)
2
Heat a large, wide-based deep pan or pot (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped spring onion and mushrooms with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min
Add the red curry paste,curry powder, turmeric and chopped lemongrass and cook for 1-2 min further or until fragrant
3
Meanwhile, remove the coconut cream from the sachet[s] and chop it roughly
Dissolve the chopped coconut cream in 800ml [1.6L] boiled water and add the soy sauce – this is your coconut stock
4
Add the coconut stock to the pot with the kaffir lime leaves and the outer lemongrass layers
Add the wholewheat noodles and cook for 4-5 min or until they're almost cooked through
Tip: separate the noodles in the pot with a fork to ensure they're all cooked through
5
Cut the pak choi in half, separating the white base and green tops
Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half
6
Add the Tenderstem broccoli and cook for 2-3 min
Add the chopped pak choi and cook for 1-2 min further or until cooked with a slight bite
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 [1]lime into the pot
7
Meanwhile, bash the peanuts with a rolling pin until finely crushed (keep them in the bag so you don't lose any!)
Cut the remaining lime into 2 [4] wedges
