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.

Cannot fault it.. and even better natural ingredients.. very nice pastes.. thai food every week now :-)
Delicious curry paste - so easy to produce an authentic Thai curry at home (I used chicken), and much cheaper than a takeaway. We have tried quite a few different pastes and not been disappointed yet!
Very impressed with the mythaicurry pastes, the jungle curry was a big hit with me and my girlfriend, can't wait to try more from this brilliant range 🥳
