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.
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.
