Ingredients

SINGAPORE CHICKEN LAKSA

  • 300g chicken tenders
  • 1-2 tablespoons Singapore laksa paste
  • ¼ red onion, finely sliced
  • ¾ can coconut milk (shake well before opening)
  • 1 capsicum, core and seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm, rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 1-1½ teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce

VERMICELLI NOODLES

  • 100g vermicelli noodles

TO SERVE

  • 1-2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 50g mung bean sprouts

Steps

  1. a full kettle to the boil.
  2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, cut into 2-3 pieces and mix with laksa paste in a medium bowl. Set aside to marinate.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium wok (or fry-pan) on medium-high heat. Stir-fry onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add chicken to wok/pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and chicken is browned but not cooked through.
  4. Add coconut milk and reduce heat to low. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken and chicken is cooked through.
  5. While sauce simmers, pour boiling water over noodles in a heat-proof bowl and use a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes then drain. Return to bowl, drizzle with a little oil to prevent sticking and cut noodles in a few places with scissors to make them easier to eat.
  6. Once sauce has thickened slightly, add capsicum, bok choy, soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes, until bok choy begins to wilt.
  7. pile vermicelli noodles into bowls and top with Singapore chicken laksa. Scatter over spring onions and mung bean sprouts.
