5 mins

Your chosen protein poached in a golden, fragrant broth of turmeric, lemongrass, ginger and kaffir lime leaves, finished with light coconut milk and tangy tamarind. Pak choi, mushrooms, green beans and edamame cook in the same pot. It’s a soothing, one-pot bowl that’s high in protein and packed with vegetables.

Ingredients
  • 2–3cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, tops removed, bruised
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 2 skinless chicken breasts (around 300g) or 200g firm tofu or 300g raw peeled prawns (fresh or frozen and defrosted) 
  • 150g green beans, trimmed and halved (fresh or frozen)
  • 100g frozen edamame beans
  • 150g mushrooms, sliced
  • 200g pak choi, halved
  • 80ml light coconut milk

Instructions

1.

Put the ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, turmeric and 400ml water in the saucepan. Bring to the boil, then simmer to infuse (10 minutes).

For chicken; cover and poach gently until cooked through with no pink meat (12–15 minutes). If you have a thermometer, it should read 75c. Lift out and slice.

3.

For tofu; Simmer the tofu in the broth for 5 minutes and leave it in.

4.

Add the green beans and edamame to the broth and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and pak choi and simmer until just tender (2 minutes).

5.

For prawns; add in now.

6.

Stir in the coconut milk, tamarind juice and salt, and heat gently without boiling (2-3 minutes).

Return the chicken to the pan (if using). Remove the lemongrass and ginger, and serve in bowls.
