1. Mix together the garlic, ginger, chilli, soy sauce and tomato purée, then add the chicken and leave it to marinate while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
2. Boil a large pan of water, add the noodles, broccoli and carrots, then cook for 4 mins before draining.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok, tip in the chicken and its marinade, then stir-fry for 4-5 mins until cooked. Toss in the noodles, vegetables, beansprouts and spring onion to warm through, then mix the oyster sauce with 2 tbsp water and stir this in just before serving.

Easy Thai noodle soup for two

Boil 1 litre chicken stock. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli, 1 tsp sugar and 2-3 tsp Thai curry paste, depending on how spicy you like it. Simmer for 5 mins. Add broccoli, chopped green parts from a bunch spring onions, the chicken and 2 blocks noodles, Simmer for 5 mins until cooked through. Finish with the soy sauce, a big handful beansprouts, fresh coriander, juice 1 lime and the white of the spring onions. Add more soy sauce to taste, if you like.

  Really yummy - made less for 2 and it worked well. Also tried the easy thai noodle soup which was really good, though I didn't used the chilli as I was already using Thai Red curry paste which I thought would be enough.

  Just okay. I cooked it exactly as the recipe, but it was just a bland and disappointing.

  I found it disappointing - far too many noodles and not enough chicken. The marinade was delicious though and I plan to use it as the base for a simple stir-fry.
