This is such a quick and easy dish to make and yet so versatile and packed full of flavour. You can substitute prawns for chicken and mix and match on the veggies as well, whatever way you do it you’re in for a treat! Using the quantities below this will easily serve 3 hungry people, but it also scales up easily and you don’t have to be exact about quantities. I like to use “straight to wok” or easy cook noodles, my personal preference is for the thicker Udon style noodle, but you can really go with whatever you prefer. I recommend to cook this no more than an hour or so before you plan to serve or the noodles swell too much if left to sit.
Ingredients.
One packet My Thai Curry red curry paste
500 g chicken breast
1 pack of noodles (2 x 150g pouches)
Red Onion
Tomato
Spring onion
Sweet red pepper
Lime
Bean sprouts
Coriander
Pak Choi if available.
One can of good quality coconut milk.
Prep the vegetables and slice the chicken breast. Boil some water, take off the boil and soak the noodles for around 2 minutes as this will stop them sticking together and also prevent them absorbing all the liquid when you add them to the soup. Pour the noodles into a strainer and leave to one side.
Sauté the red onion in the pan with a little vegetable oil until it turns translucent.
Add the tomato and continue to sauté for a few minutes.
Add the chicken and the red curry paste to the pan and continue to cook for 4 or 5 minutes.
Shake the can of coconut milk so that the contents are mixed before opening it. Add about half the contents to the pan, followed by 400 ml of water. You can vary these measurements depending on how thick you like your soup and what you have in the pan. However, don’t make it too thick, remember it’s a soup and not a curry! Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
Add the noodles and stir through for one minute and scatter the remaining ingredients over the top. That’s it!
Serve up making sure that each person has a piece of lime to squeeze into the dish to adjust the taste. If you like this recipe please click the star rating below! Kop Khun Kha, Nitsa.x
Life doesn't get much easier than cooking this recipe! It is an amazingly fragrant and totally satisfying dish that can be put together in about 20 minutes. You can substitute the chicken for prawns if you wish and mix and match the veggies to your own taste!

Crying Tiger beef has long been one of our favourite recipes especially during the summer months when alfresco dining and barbecues abound. Recently I have started to take the dish beyond the original recipe, especially if I am cooking for a group of people. I love Crying Tiger whichever way it is prepared, but there is no doubt that this method of preparation takes it to a different level. The reason for this is that the state is cooked using the Reverse Sear method. This results in a perfec...
Have you ever tasted something so delicious that it feels like a culinary revelation? That's exactly how it feels to bite into a perfectly cooked beef short rib. I’m deeply in love with them, the rich slow cooked meat practically falls off the bone, leaving you craving for more. No wonder I’ve fallen head over heels for this underrated cut of meat. Gone are the days when you had to visit a specialty butcher to get your hands on beef short ribs as well, thanks to supermarkets like Sainsbury's ...
My first confession is that that I never thought I would be sitting here writing a recipe for a Thai Curry pie, but times change and we change with them or stagnate. My interest was sparked on my first trip back to Bangkok after the pandemic, chicken curry puffs have long been a popular Thai snack but savoury pies, usually steak and kidney, were very much something that was restricted to the Bangkok expat pub scene. All that had changed, bake shops were springing up outside the traditional to...
Always get one of these for our daughters, they're not quite up to the Bangkok or Southern spice levels yet but absolutely love the flavour so everyone's happy. The same quality as all of these pastes, excellent 👌
I was recommended to try your paste by a friend. I have been making my own paste for years from various recipes but yours was exceptional and took all the hard work away. It made dinner so easy i will definitely be ordering more. Excellent!
I ordered the jungle curry paste, yellow Thai, green Thai and red Thai. The jungle curry was very tasty but absolutely blew my socks off! Not for the faint hearted for sure! The pastes are absolutely amazing I can’t wait to be able to afford to order more! Thankyou :)
Anyone who likes Thai cooking at home then this is your easy way to do it and so tasty. Would highly recommend. So far have had the green curry and enjoyed every mouthful. Thank you
