Ingredients

  • 2 chicken or vegetable stock cubes
  • 100g Shemin’s Thai Green or Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 50g tamarind block
  • A handful of coriander stems, finely chopped
  • 1 medium whole chicken
  • Noodles to serve 6 people
  • Prepare the Stock: In a saucepan large enough to fit the whole chicken, place the stock cubes and fill the pan halfway with hot water.
  • Add the Flavours: Add Shemin’s Thai Green or Thai Red Curry Paste , the tamarind block, and chopped coriander stems to the pan.
  • Add the Chicken: Place the whole chicken in the pan, then top up with hot water until the chicken is fully submerged.
  • Simmer: Simmer for 1 hour, then remove the chicken and shred the meat.
  • Cook the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, enough to serve 6 people.
  • Serve: To serve, divide the noodles into bowls, ladle over the broth, and top with shredded chicken.
  • Customise the Spice : If you like your broth spicier, add a few fresh chillies or a pinch of chilli flakes when adding the curry paste. Or for a milder broth, you can add coconut milk.
  • Perfect Noodles : Rinse the cooked noodles under cold water after draining to stop them from sticking together. You can toss them in a little sesame oil to prevent clumping and add extra flavour.
  • Rice noodles : Ideal for a light, gluten-free option that absorbs the broth well.
  • Egg noodles : Add richness and a slightly chewy texture to the dish.
  • Soba noodles : Buckwheat soba offers a nutty flavour and more robust bite.
  • Udon noodles : For a heartier, thicker noodle that pairs well with a rich broth.
  • Tamarind Block : To make the tamarind easier to dissolve, soften the block in a small amount of warm water and mash it before adding to the broth. This helps distribute the tangy flavour evenly.
  • Chicken Shredding Made Easy : Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, use two forks to shred it quickly and evenly. If you prefer larger chunks, you can simply chop the meat instead.
  • Finishing Touches : Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves, sliced spring onions, or a squeeze of lime to give it a bright, zesty finish.
