Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 2 tbsp tamarind paste
• 4 red Thai chillies, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2.5 cm piece Thai ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
• 4 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp palm sugar or caster sugar
• 8 lime leaves, roughly torn
• 1.2 liters chicken stock
• 350 g boneless chicken breast
• 100 g carrots, very thinly sliced
• 350 g sweet potato, diced
• 100 g baby corn cobs, halved
• 3 tbsp fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• 100 g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 150 g flat rice noodles
• fresh chopped coriander, to garnish

1. Place the tamarind paste, Thai chillies, garlic, Thai ginger, fish sauce, sugar, lime leaves and chicken stock in a large preheated wok and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and cook for about 5 minutes.
2. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the chicken. Add the chicken to the wok and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring the mixture well.
3. Reduce the heat and add the carrots, sweet potato and baby corn cobs to the wok. Leave to simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender and the chicken is completely cooked through.
4. Stir in the coriander, cherry tomatoes and noodles. Leave the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Garnish and serve hot.

“Tamarind paste is produced from the seed pod of the tamarind tree. Tamarind makes a very good remedy for cough. It adds both a brown color and tang to soups and gravies. If unavailable, dilute molasses (dark muscovado) sugar or treacle with lime juice.”
