INGREDIENTS

• 400g chicken breast

• 4 tsp brown sugar

• 3 tsp tamarind paste

METHOD

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, garlic, coriander, and water. Slice the chicken into strips and coat in the sauce.

2. Heat a large frying pan over medium to high heat and add the chicken, sauce, carrot and zucchini. Mix well, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid (or baking tray if your pan doesn't have a lid). Simmer for ~10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

3. Cut the base off the enoki mushrooms and add to the pan, stir in and cook for 2-3 minutes (not too long or the mushrooms will overcook and no longer resemble noodle texture)

4. Divide the mix between 4 bowls and top with the bean sprouts and peanuts
