4 x chicken thigh boned and skin removed (you can use breast)

1 can coconut milk

2 makrut lime leaves

juice of 1 lime

2 teaspoons brown or palm sugar

small thumb-sized piece of ginger - grated on a microplane

250 grams mung beans

large handful of cherry tomato

2 makrut lime leaves, vein removed and very thinly sliced

generous amount of coriander, I used a large pack from the supermarket

3 sprigs mint

zest & juice of 1 lime

1 x shallot finely sliced

roasted & salted cashews to garnish

Method

  • Add all poaching ingredients to the pan. Add the makrut lime leaves in whole, but give a gentle crush in your hands before putting in.
  • Bring up to a boil, taste for seasoning, and add chicken, reduce to a simmer, put the lid on and cook until chicken is cooked, around 4 mins each side.
  • Put chicken & poaching liquid in the fridge to cool. Sieve the liquid if needed.
  • Prepare salad ingredients by picking leaves off herbs and halving cherry tomatoes, add everything to a large bowl and toss.
  • Get chicken from the fridge and slice. Add cooled chicken to your salad ingredients. Toss and transfer to your serving plate.
  • Sprinkle with cashew nuts & serve with poaching liquid and an extra lime wedge on the side
  • Now devour!
