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.

  1. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Thinly slice the carrots into half moons (peel optional). Keeping the stalk and leaves separate, trim and cut the pak choi into bite-size pieces. Roughly chop the coriander. Zest and halve the lime. On a clean board, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and carrot and cook for 5-7 mins, until golden, then stir in the pak choi stalks, Thai curry paste and lemongrass puree. Cook for 30 seconds, then mix in the coconut yoghurt, creamed coconut, and 200ml hot water. Stir to dissolve the creamed coconut.
  4. Simmer for 6-8 mins, until the carrot is softened and the chicken is cooked. Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear. Cook for longer if necessary.
  5. Stir the edamame, pak choi leaves, half the coriander and half the tamari into the curry. Cook for a further 30 seconds, until the leaves are wilted, then remove from the heat. Stir the zest and the juice from half the lime into the curry and season to taste with a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Mix the remaining tamari through the rice (or to taste) then serve into bowls with the curry alongside. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander leaves, and garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges.
