“Adding a lovely bit of crunch to this simple dish, slaw ingredients Chinese cabbage and sugar snap peas are a source of vitamin C, which we need to make cell-protecting vitamin E. ” ~ Jamie Olivier

100 g fine rice noodles
2 x 120 g skinless free-range chicken breasts

2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
2 cm piece of ginger
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
300 g quinoa
1 fresh red chilli or yellow chilli
100 g baby spinach
4 spring onions
1 bunch of fresh coriander
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 large ripe mango
2 limes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

CHICKEN
2 x 200 g skinless free-range chicken breasts
1 heaped teaspoon ground allspice

TO SERVE
4 tablespoons fat-free yoghurt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup coconut water
1 frozen banana
a big chunk fresh ginger, minced
juice from 1 lime
2 tbsp coconut flakes
a handful of walnuts
Throw all the ingredients in the blender. Blend it for half a minute. Taste it and add more ginger if needed. I used almost 2 inches, but I like it quite strong.
For the green curry chicken:
1 whole chicken – 1.4 kg. in total weight (ไก่บ้าน) – I think a free range chicken gives you the best Thai green curry taste
2 cups of water to first boil the chicken
green curry paste (เครื่องแกงเขียวหวาน) – all of the green curry paste below
2 – 3 cups of coconut cream (หัวกะทิ)
6 – 10 Thai eggplant (มะเขือเปราะ)
6 – 10 stems of Thai sweet basil (โหระพา)
2 red spur chilies (พริกชี้ฟ้าแดง)
20 kaffir lime leaves (ใบมะกรูด)
1/2 tsp. salt (เกลือ) – or salt to taste when you’re cooking your curry
For the green curry paste (เครื่องแกงเขียวหวาน)
150 grams Thai green chilies (พริกขี้หนูเขียว)
1 head garlic (กระเทียม)
3 shallots – small shallots about 2 tbsp in total (หอมแดง)
1 thumb sized chunk of galangal (ข่า)
5 cilantro roots (รากผักชี) coriander
1 kaffir lime – just the peel (ผิวมะกรูด)
2 stalks lemongrass (ตะไคร้)
1 tbsp. white pepper corns (พริกไทยขาว)
1 tsp. coriander seed (ลูกผักชี)
