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. Boil a half-kettle. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add the tempeh and cook for 4-5 mins, turning regularly, until golden brown.
  2. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse.
  3. Meanwhile, trim the broccoli. Halve the corn. Roughly chop the coriander. Dissolve the stock cube in a jug with 400ml hot water (200ml for 1 person).
  4. Add the lemongrass, ginger & garlic paste, and curry powder to the tempeh pan. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the stock. Bring to a boil, then add the prepped veg and kale. Simmer for 4-5 mins, until the broccoli has softened.
  5. Once cooked, stir through the coconut yoghurt and the juice from half a lime. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then simmer for a final 2-3 mins, until the broth is piping hot.
  6. Serve the noodles in bowls and spoon over the broth, topped with the curried tempeh and chopped coriander.
