  1. SIMMER THE QUINOA

    Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of water and place over a medium-high heat (uncovered). Once simmering, cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the tails have popped out, adding more water if required during the cooking process. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and allow to stand off the heat for 5 minutes.

  2. GET THE STOCK & PAK CHOI READY

    Boil the kettle. Trim the base off the pak choi, separate the leaves, and rinse well. Slice the green, leafy parts in half lengthways and set aside. Finely slice the stems, keeping them separate from the green leaves. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water.

  3. THE CURRY IS A GO!

    Place a pot for the curry over a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the carrot chunks and pak choi stems for 2-3 minutes until softened and slightly browned, shifting regularly. Add the grated garlic and the curry paste (to taste). Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the coconut cream and diluted stock, and stir until the paste has been incorporated into the liquid. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. POP IN THAT CHICKEN

    Rinse the chicken mini fillets to get rid of any residue from the packet and pat dry with some paper towel. Once thickened, fully submerge the chicken in the sauce. Pop on a lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. In the final minute, stir through the pak choi leaves and chopped pickled peppers. Cook for the remaining time until the pak choi has wilted. Remove from the heat on completion and season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice to taste.

  5. DINNER IS SERVED

    Spoon some fragrant Thai red curry over a bed of fluffy quinoa. Garnish with the fresh, chopped coriander and finish off with a generous squeeze of lime. Well done, Chef!
