This dish has a lot going for it! Makrut lime leaves are mixed with soy sauce to create the perfect marinade for tender chicken, noodles and a bowl full of bright veggies. Get in quick, this one won't last long! Unfortunately, this week’s crushed peanuts were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with crispy shallots. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Boil kettle. Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves then very finely chop. • In a small bowl combine makrut lime leaves, the water, the soy sauce, the vinegar and the brown sugar. • Cut chicken tenderloins into 2cm chunks.
TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them into small pieces!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Season. Transfer to a plate. • Meanwhile, half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Cook egg noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Drain, rinse and set aside.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook broccoli & carrot mix, tossing until tender, 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in Southeast Asian spice blend, cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk and makrut-sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves, cooked noodles and cooked chicken to the pan. Cook, tossing, until wilted, 1 minute.
• Divide makrut lime and coconut chicken noodles with veggies between bowls. • Top with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
