Method
- Mix together the coconut cream, chilli, ginger, coriander, garlic and lime or lemon juice, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Slash through the skin and flesh of the chicken fillets. Place them in a shallow dish and spoon over the coconut mixture. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 mins.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. Line a roasting tin with lightly oiled foil and place the chicken fillets in the tin. Drizzle over oil and roast for 35-40 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the coconut crust is browned.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the rice noodles and stir well.
- Allow to boil for 2-3 mins, then drain the noodles and rinse under cold running water.
- Heat a wok or non-stick frying pan until hot, add the sesame oil and stir-fry the spring onions, carrot and pepper for 2-3 mins until just tender.
- Add the noodles and soy sauce and stir-fry for a further minute until completely heated through.
- Slice the chicken fillets and arrange on the vegetable noodles. Garnish with chopped chillipepper, if liked.
