Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out 2 medium frying pans

Get started

  • Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and fry for 7 mins. Season with salt and pepper
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the pepper and onion. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces, keeping the stalk and leaves separate. Halve the lime

Build the flavour

  • Add the pepper and onion and cook for a further 5 mins, until softened
  • Stir in the Panang curry sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 mins

Cook the rice

  • Heat the other large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pak choi stalk and cook for 2-3 mins, until softening. Add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon
  • Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt
  • Stir the pak choi leaves into the curry with a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the curry between bowls, with the rice alongside. Scatter over the cashews and serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
