Method

  1. Blanch the sugar snap peas in a bowl of boiling water for 2 mins, then drain. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the spring onions, garlic, ginger and chicken. Gently fry for 2-3 mins. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute more. Add the coconut milk to the pan, along with a splash of water, the lime juice, peas and sugar snap peas. Gently bubble for around 5 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the pack instructions. Drain. Stir the noodles through the sauce, scatter with coriander and serve with a wedge of lime for squeezing over.

One of our favourite dinners at the moment. Tend to up the veg a bit by adding a pepper and sometimes some broccoli that has been pre-boiled for a minute or two first. Also made it with red curry paste for a bit of variation. Partner adds a bit of Tabasco to his to spice it up a bit but perfect for me and 8 year old son as it is. Quick to make and yummy.

I made this with mange tout as I didn’t have sugar snap peas. It was good and my daughter liked it but hubby thought it needed a bit more taste. I didn’t want to put more curry paste in it because we do t really do hot in our house. Will cook again but not a favourite
