Before you start

  • Boil a half-full kettle
  • Pull out a large non-stick frying pan, a large frying pan & a measuring jug

Do the prep

  • Thinly slice the peppers. Peel and quarter the onions, then separate the layers. Roughly chop the coriander
  • Dissolve the creamed coconut in the measuring jug with 400ml boiling water

Start the curry

  • Heat the large non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chick'n pieces and cook for 2-3 mins per side, until golden. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside
  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins, until starting to brown. Add the pepper and mangetout and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper

Build the flavour

  • Add the curry paste (add less for less heat), ginger & garlic paste and half the coriander. Fry for 1 min, until fragrant, then stir in the coconut mixture and simmer for 5-6 mins, until thickened
  • Add the chick'n back to the pan along with the maple syrup. Stir well, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water if it's too dry

Heat the rice & plate up

  • Heat the large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, 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. Alternatively, cook in the microwave as per pack instructions
  • Serve the rice into bowls and spoon over the Thai green curry. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander (for those who'd like)
