Servings: 4
Calories: 406kcal
Ingredients
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tsp ginger grated (or ginger purée)
- 400 g boneless chicken thighs chopped small
- 400 ml low fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Mae Ploy Thai green curry paste
- 1 chicken stock pot or cube + hot water to line
- 75 g green beans chopped
- 75 g mangetout chopped
- 90 g dried rice noodles 2 nests
Instructions
- Add the onion, garlic, ginger, chicken, coconut milk, paste and stock to the soup maker. I used 2 tbsp of Thai curry paste, see notes for information.
- Place the lid on the soup maker. Select the Manual function, choose High Heat and set the time to 20 minutes. For other soup makers, choose the chunky soup setting. You can add the beans and mangetout at the beginning too, they will just be softer.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove the lid and add the chopped green beans and mangetout. Replace the lid and continue cooking on High Heat for a further 10 minutes.
- Once the 30 minutes are up, switch the soup maker off and add the rice noodles to the hot soup. Push them down so they are fully submerged and leave for 3 minutes to soften.
- Optionally press the Pulse button around 3 times to gently break down the ingredients while keeping plenty of texture. Or alternatively you can leave it as it is.
Notes
Thai Green Curry Paste:
My favourite brand at the moment is Mae Ploy Thai green curry paste, it can be bought in most supermarkets or online at Amazon. I use 2 tbsp of paste which results in quite a rich and spicy flavour. If you prefer a milder taste start with 1 tbsp of paste.
Rice Noodles:
The rice noodles don't need to be added until the end of the soup maker cycle. Simply lift the lid and place two nests (or how much you want) and submerge them in the hot soup. Leave them for about 3 minutes or according to the packet instructions. I used MAMA Instant Rice Noodles which can be bought in supermarkets or as multipacks online at Amazon.
