Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 150g of king prawns, peeled
- ½ tbsp of coconut oil
- ½ tbsp of sesame oil
- 1 stick of lemon grass
- 3 spring onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- fresh ginger, thumb-sized piece, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 500ml of chicken stock
- 400ml of coconut milk
- juice of half a lime, reserve the squeezed lime half
- 1 tbsp of fish sauce
- 1 tsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp light brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground turmeric, or a few strands of saffron
- 200g of rice noodles
- coriander leaves, to garnish
Steps
- Heat both the oils in a large pan and add the chopped lemon grass, spring onions, garlic, ginger and red chilli. Stir-fry over a low-medium heat for 2 minutes
- Add the chicken and prawns and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, until coloured
- Pour in the stock, coconut milk and lime juice and bring to a good simmer. Throw in the remaining lemon grass and the squeezed lime half
- Add a tablespoon of fish sauce, the tomato purée, peanut butter, sugar and turmeric or saffron, if using (the turmeric or saffron will give the soup a lovely deep colour but are not essential). Simmer the soup gently for about 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water; leave for 5 minutes, then drain and add to the soup. Mix well and taste, adding more fish sauce or a squeeze of lime if you think it needs it
- Serve ladled into deep bowls and garnish with coriander
