Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium chicken , jointed into pieces and skinned
1 tbsp coriander seed
3cm piece ginger , sliced
2 lemongrass stalks, crushed
zest and juice 1 lime
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
200ml light coconut milk
3 garlic cloves , sliced
3 red chillies , deseeded and sliced
handful coriander , chopped (leaves and stalks kept separate)
bunch spring onions , sliced
300g cooked rice noodle
handful mint leaves, chopped
1 tbsp sesame oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large saucepan with the coriander seeds, ginger, lemongrass, lime zest and a little salt. Add enough cold water to cover, slowly bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, gently poaching the chicken for 40 mins until it starts to fall away from the bone.
  • Carefully lift the chicken onto a plate and cover with foil. Leave the stock to stand for 10 mins, skim off any excess fat and strain into a clean saucepan. Pull the chicken from the bones and tear into chunks.
  • Bring the stock back to the boil, then add the fish sauce, soy, coconut milk, garlic, chillies and coriander stalks. Simmer for 2 mins, return the chicken to the pan and cook for a further 5 mins until warm. Add the spring onions and lime juice to taste.
  • Divide the noodles between 6 bowls, then use a slotted spoon to lift the chicken and veg into each. Season the stock and pour over. Scatter with coriander and mint leaves, and serve with a drizzle of sesame oil, if you like.
