This time it’s Curried Rice Noodles with Chicken; a Thai dish (I know, not, of course, Chinese) made with a traditional Thai red curry paste – as this was a mid-week meal I used a ready made paste.

Quite quick and easy to cook; heat some oil in a wok, add the curry paste and stir fry the chicken in the oil and paste in batches for a couple of minutes each. Then return all the chicken to the wok with chopped red chilli, fish sauce and lime juice; stir and simmer for a minute. Add bean sprouts and pre-cooked rice vermicelli; toss well. For a garnish I fried some chopped onion and garlic until brown and crisp and sprinkled on the top with coriander and chopped pea-nuts. Very nice!
