Thai curried noodles recipe

These vibrant golden noodles are infused with Thai curry paste and tossed with basil leaves and red chilli.

Our Thai curried noodles take just 20 minutes to cook. Packed with soft chunks of butternut squash, crisp pak choi, and soya beans. The Thai curry sauce has a creamy texture thanks to coconut milk.

• 1 head of pak choi, leaves separated

1. Heat a wok, or large pan, add the Thai paste and the prepared butternut squash and sweet potato, and stir-fry for 2 mins over a medium heat.
2. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 canfuls of hot water, add the stock cube, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins until the vegetables are just tender.
3. Add the soya beans or peas and then the noodles. Simmer for 2 mins.
