Notes on ingredients

Chicken

I’ve used organic free-range chicken in this recipe, but alternatively, you can use prawns, fish,or whatever protein source you want.

Honey

Using honey for cooking chicken or fish caramelises it beautifully. I love to use local honey where possible.

Noodles

I love to experiment with noodles and probably have eaten and bought every single variety on the market. Great gluten free varieties I would recommend are:

Thai basil

Thai basil otherwise known as holy basil, has a distinct aniseed flavour which is very prevalent in Thai cooking and adds a beautiful layer of flavour to this recipe.You can purchase this from Waitrose and sometimes Sainsburys.

Oil

I LOVE sesame seed oil, but if you don’t have any allergy’s to peanuts like I do then try using a little peanut oil, your taste buds will thank you for it I promise it really will add another layer of flavour which is what you need with Thai cooking, layers and layers of flavours that tantalise your taste buds and make them dance and sing! All can be bought from major super markets or Asian shops.

Tips

  • Once you drain the noodles run cold water ( refresh them) to stop the noodles cooking and sticking together.

  • The meat is best marinaded over night, but a couple of hours will do if your short of time.

  • Always stir fry in a really hot wok, so heat it up for a few minutes first.

Step by step

Serves 4 takes 30 minutes prep and cooking time

Recipe

  • 4 Chicken breast, 4 fillets of fish or prawns

  • 250 g pack stir fry veggies, or a selection of your own shredded vegetables

  • 500 g cooked noodles of your choice

  • A few splashes soy sauce

  • 6 tbsp coconut oil/ sesame/ peanut oil for stir frying

  • 1/4 large bunch coriander

  • 1 bunch spring onion

    Marinade

  • 6 oz ginger

  • 2 chilli add more if your a bad ass like me!

  • 6 cloves of garlic

  • 80 ml soy sauce or tamari

  • 50 ml honey or agave

  • 150 ml olive oil

  • 2 stalk lemongrass

  • small bunch holy/thai basil

Method

  1. Blend all the marinade ingredients and use half of it to marinate the protein you are using ( save the rest for stir-frying your veggies).

  2. Marinade the meat for either a couple of hours or overnight.

  3. Cook the chicken in a tray in the oven for 35 minutes at 180 degrees. If you are using Fish it needs 10/15 minutes.

  4. Whilst the fish/meat is in the oven, use the remaining marinade to stir fry your vegetables and drizzle some extra oil, either coconut/ sesame or peanut oil.

  5. Stir fry your veggies for a few minutes. They still need to be a little crunchy.

  6. When veggies are stir-fried, add your noodles and a few splashes of soy sauce. Please be generous with the soy sauce/ tamari—no need to be shy here. Stir fry till the noodles are hot.

  7. Finish the noodles with coriander and spring onion garnish. If you really want to be fancy like me you could garnish with, Japanese shiso micro-cress I bought from Ocado/Waitrose.

  8. Once your chicken or fish is cooked, slice and place on top of your noodles and veggies and devour.
