Niall Kirkland’s take on this classic Thai dish is perfect to pack in a whole load of green goodness to your day — helping you to stay on top of your essential vitamin and mineral intake in a seriously tasty way.
He’s made the curry paste completely from scratch, which is a great way to guarantee maximum taste and can be easily tailored to suit your own preferences (i.e. if you like it milder then you can hold back on the chillies). Plus, we all know you have the extra time to devote to cooking these days…
If you can’t get hold of all the ingredients though, a ready-made Thai green curry paste works just as well.
Here’s how to make it.

- 2 lemongrass stalks
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- A small handful of basil
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper

- Add your curry paste to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Then, add the coconut milk and your cooked chicken back to the wok, stir well and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Next add the green beans, mange tout, baby corn, and spring onions to the wok, stir gently, then cover and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Now, remove lid and add the egg noodles to the curry. Stir them in gently and you’re ready to serve. Garnish with a sprinkle of coriander and chopped cashew nuts.
