    This recipe was really easy and so, so tasty. (You can't ask for much better than that!) Next time I'll probably use a little more curry powder and less miso, and probably add some chopped chilli to the onion and ginger mixture.

    I`ve made this twice now, used hot curry powder as that`s what I had in. It turned out great. I think it`s the ginger and miso paste that does it. Never heard of miso paste before but managed to get some from Asian supermarket.

    I used 2 tbs ginger (accidentally), but I think one is enough. I hadn't got miso paste which I replaced by teriyaki. In spite of these we loved it, surely I will prepare it again.

    I know this is the wrong place to ask, but I have no idea how to add recipes to favourites. And I don't see any help page, sorry for the spam but, does anyone know?

    Just sat down after having made and eaten this lovely curry. After reading through previous comments, I made the addition of a deseeded red chilli, although perhaps they weren't very hot as the dish was still very mild (my 2yr old, 6yr old and 8yr old wolfed it down!). It was very enjoyable, none the less! Our thoughts were only that there wasn't really much sauce, so for 500g of chicken I'd probably double the sauce ingredients, that is if you like a lot of sauce. All in all a great, yummy, quick and healthy midweek family meal :)

    I really want to try this, but does anyone know where I can get Miso paste? I've looked on line but can only seem to find Miso soup paste. Is this the same thing? thanks

    Absolutely lovely. Needed a few more minutes simmering to make the chicken fall apart, and that meant that the sauce had reduced a little too much. I put a splash more water in and kept it slowly simmering until it had reduced to a nice, thick sauce again. I'd already used a little more stock than recommended, but I'd probably use a little more again, in future. Perfect with sticky Jasmine rice. I got my miso paste in Waitrose - the Clearspring one. I wouldn't use miso soup as these tend to have bits in - fine for a ramen but not this curry. Proper miso paste should be easy to find either in Waitrose or a local Asian food store. Will make again!

    Loved this curry!! I used medium curry paste, and also used the clearpsing miso paste. Easy, healthy and really tasty - will defo make this one again! The sauce reduces down quite quickly, so more stock is needed if you like lots of sauce!

    I had a craving for this and did love it - maybe would take the chicken out and blend the rest of the sauce in a blender before serving next time for thicker, moreish sauce!

    Yummy, but given 4 stars for lack of authenticity :-D I grew up in Japan and can guarantee you that no Japanese person would recognise this dish! That being said it will be made again. Though next time I will measure the curry powder and miso.... and hopefully won't have to add oodles of yoghurt to tone it down! (Maybe my curry powder was hotter too? It was a mild madras) Also having no green beans I added frozen edamame soy beans which worked well and my veg phobic son will actually eat those as well.

    Just to add for those looking for miso - larger supermarkets will stock it in their special selections, health food shops and "hippy co-op" style shops often stock it. Otherwise seek out your local asian/Chinese/Japanese/Thai shop or buy on line. There are a myriad of types, I would go for a red but not dark red if you have a choice. White would be odd, and dark red would be too strong. Barly miso would probably also taste a bit odd but might work OK. I cheat I'm afraid and get my family to bring it over!

    This recipe is excellent and everyone loved it and clean plates all round. Really quick and a great flavour. Found a jar of brown rice Miso paste in Sainsburys special food section and used a mild madras curry powder which give it a bit of a kick but very warming. Will definately make again and might try a hot madras curry powder next time for a bit more heat.
