Serves 1

Splash of soy sauce

Small tsp of palm sugar

Juice of half a lemon

Coriander

My recipe

I made this, to be honest, as a healthy snack to accompany my vino on a Friday night.  I just sat and picked at it whilst watching Nip Tuck.  I ate it cold with a nice salad.   

Having cooked so many Thai dishes, I have come to know the basic ingredients and this is something I tried out from my head and it worked really nicely.

This is a quick and hot tasty dish.

Chop the chicken into chunks, brown, then add the paste until it’s all mixed over the chicken.   

Add the palm sugar, stirring loads.

Followed by the garlic then the chilli and a splash of soy sauce.

Squeeze the half a lemon over when it is ready so it doesn’t all evaporate.

After you’ve taken it out of the pan, stir in a good helping of coriander.

I made a nice standard salad to go with it; lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion and pepper.

Enjoy
