Ingredients

  • 1 litres Chicken, Stock (34 oz (U.S.))
  • 1 tablespoon Red Thai Curry Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Thai Fish Sauce
  • 2 Limes, Zest and juice
  • 100 grams Mushroom, Portobello (3.5 oz)
  • 1 pinch or to taste Spring onion, Bunch, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1 Garlic, cloves, thinly sliced

  • 200 grams Chicken Breast Cooked, Shredded (7 oz)
  • 1 Red chili, optional, thinly sliced

Instructions

STEP 1

Chop the garlic thinly and the ginger in to very thin match sticks. Tip the stock into a saucepan, then stir in the red Thai curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice and most of the zest. Bring to the boil, then add the mushrooms, garlic, ginger and whites of the spring onion. Cover, then simmer for 2 mins. Add the thinly cut red chili if you are using them.

STEP 2

Stir in the chicken and most of the spring onion greens to gently heat through, then serve ladled into bowls and scattered with the remaining lime zest. Serve with extra lime juice and fish sauce on the side so everyone can adjust their own bowlfuls.

RRECIPE TIPS
    If you don’t have any leftover chicken, put 2 chicken breasts in a pan with a stock cube and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and cover for 15 mins – the chicken will be tender and the cooking liquid perfect for using in your broth.
