Ingredients

1 large red chilli , deseeded
½ a finger-length piece fresh root ginger , roughly chopped
1 fat garlic clove
small bunch coriander , stalks roughly chopped
1 tbsp sunflower oil
4 skinless chicken breasts , cut into chunks
5 tbsp peanut butter
150ml chicken stock
200g tub Greek yogurt

Steps:

Finely slice a quarter of the chilli, then put the rest in a food processor with the ginger, garlic, coriander stalks and one-third of the leaves. Whizz to a rough paste with a splash of water if needed.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, then quickly brown the chicken chunks for 1 min. Stir in the paste for another min, then add the peanut butter, stock and yogurt. When the sauce is gently bubbling, cook for 10 mins until the chicken is just cooked through and sauce thickened. Stir in most of the remaining coriander, then scatter the rest on top with the chilli, if using. Eat with rice or mashed sweet potato.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 12 ounces), sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha, or more as needed
4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
6 ounces thin rice noodles (vermicelli)
1 romaine heart, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
2 Persian cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh cilantro (from about 1 medium bunch)
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

START THE WATER: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
POACH THE CHICKEN: Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a medium skillet. Whisk in the peanut butter, then add the chicken. Cook over medium-low heat at a bare simmer until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate; continue to simmer the sauce until thickened and reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and whisk in the vinegar, soy sauce, Sriracha, and scallions. Cool slightly.
COOK THE NOODLES: Add the rice noodles to the boiling water and cook until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain the noodles very well, tossing with tongs to release as much water as possible. Snip the noodles with scissors a few times to cut the long strands.
TOSS THE SALAD: Toss the noodles with the romaine, cucumbers, bell pepper, half of the cilantro, and just enough dressing to coat. Season with salt. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chicken. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
