Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add 4 spring onions and the meat-free chicken-style pieces and cook for 2 mins, before stirring through the ginger and garlic paste, chopped red chilli, lemongrass paste and ground turmeric. Cook for 1 min until fragrant, then add the coconut milk and 500ml boiling water.

  2. Give everything a good stir, then bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 mins until piping hot. Add the lime juice and season to taste with sea salt. 

  3. Divide the noodles and stir-fry mix between 4 bowls, then ladle over the broth, ensuring the chicken-style pieces are evenly split between each portion. Scatter over the chilli, spring onion and coriander. Serve with extra lime wedges for squeezing over.

Tip: In a hurry? Swap the ginger and garlic paste, lemongrass paste and turmeric in Step 1 with 2 x 180g sachets Tesco Laksa Sauce and just add 1 tin of coconut milk with 500ml of boiling water.
