1

• Boil the kettle. Place bean vermicelli noodles in a medium heatproof bowl.
• Add enough boiling water to cover noodles. Cover and set aside until tender, 4-6 minutes.
• Drain, rinse and return to bowl with a drizzle of olive oil.

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into sticks.
• Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them into small pieces!

3

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook ginger lemongrass paste until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add coconut milk, makrut lime leaves, oyster sauce, the brown sugar, soy sauce and water.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with pepper.
