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

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...
This is the essential Thai dipping sauce you see all over Thailand. An absolute must for the Pad Kaprow recipe but also used to spice up almost any dish, particularly grilled meats or similar. And for many Thais they can't think of eating a fried egg without some Prik Naam Pla to top it. More than anything, it sums up the Thai food tastes of sour sweet and salty. Spicy? Of course that also depends on what chillies you use for this, and if you're prepared to do the extra work of separating out...
This has been my third bulk purchase of massaman curry pastes as they’re a firm favourite in my household. I even sent my son off to university with half a dozen sachets complete with 6 cans of 82% coconut milk from The Coconut Kitchen as they’re quick and easy to use; I’ll certainly be ordering more when my stocks run low.
I've been using these pastes for a few years now and they are superb. Nothing bought in a supermarket from brands like Blue Dragon or Amoy come anywhere close to the authenticity of the mythaicurry ones. I've tried most of them now and they are all as good as each other. It's always an excited family when Thai curry is on the menu for dinner in our house.
