Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Warm a deep frying pan or wok on a medium heat for 1 min. Pour in 1 tbsp oil and add the diced chicken. Fry for 6 mins, turning often till golden brown all over.

  • 2.

    While the chicken fries, trim the dry ends off the Tenderstem® broccoli stalks. Pull the leaves and silks off the corn cob. Slice the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.

  • 3.

    Fill a medium pan with hot water from the kettle. Bring back to the boil, then add 2 bundles of noodles. Simmer for 3-4 mins till the noodles are cooked through. Drain and set aside. Fill and boil the kettle again.

  • 4.

    Mix 2 tbsp peanut butter and 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste together in a small bowl. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon and add a pinch of salt. Mix to make a chunky paste.

  • 5.

    When the chicken has cooked for 6 mins, add the peanut butter mixture, the corn kernels and broccoli. Stir fry for 2-3 mins, tossing frequently.

  • 6.

    Pour in 200ml hot water from the kettle. Bring up to a bubble and cook for 2 mins. The chicken should be cooked through and the veg tender. Taste and add some salt if you think it needs it.

  • 7.

    Add the noodles to the pan and toss to mix. Pile the chicken, veg and noodles into 2 warm bowls and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
