Preparation and cooking times

- Make the curry paste first. Put all of the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add 2 tbsp coconut milk and whizz to a paste, scraping the sides down with a spatula to make sure it is evenly chopped.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan, add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes until aromatic, but not coloured. Add the remaining coconut milk, stock, fish sauce and sugar. Bring to the boil then gently simmer for 7-10 minutes.
- Cook the noodles in boiling water following pack instructions. Drain.
- Cut the chicken and corn into thin bite-size pieces, add to the soup and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the beansprouts and sugar snap peas and cook for 30 seconds.
- Divide the noodles between 4 bowls and ladle over the soup. Scatter with spring onions and coriander. Serve with lime wedges.
TIP
Use one to two tablespoons of ready-made Thai curry paste for this dish if you're really pushed for time.
