method


TO START Get all your ingredients and equipment ready. Put 1 large and 1 smaller frying pan on a high heat. Put the thin slicer disk attachment into the food processor.

CHICKEN Tip the chicken thighs into the largest frying pan, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt & pepper and leave to cook, turning every minute or so for 18 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Wash your hands.

KIMCHEE SLAW Wash the radishes well. Peel and halve the red onion. Shred the radishes, red onion and Chinese cabbage in the food processor. Tip into a serving bowl. Add the bunch of coriander and the chillies (stalks removed) to the processor and whiz. Peel and crush in the ginger, then tip into the bowl.

CHICKEN
Put some greaseproof paper on top of the chicken then place the smaller frying pan on top of that, with something heavy like a pestle & mortar in it to weight it down. The heat from the smaller pan will get the chicken cooking on both sides and make it dead crispy.

CURRY SAUCE Put the slicer attachment into the food processor. Peel the ginger and put it into the food processor with the chillies (stalks removed), lime leaves and most of the coriander. Crush in 4 unpeeled cloves of garlic. Halve the lemongrass and discard the outer leaves, trim the spring onions, and add both to the processor. Blitz to a paste, adding a good drizzle of sesame oil and a good few lugs of olive oil as you go.

CHICKEN Move the top pan to a medium heat and get rid of the greaseproof paper. Carefully drain away the fat and turn the chicken pieces skin side up. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds to the empty frying pan and leave to toast until golden, tossing occasionally, then put into a small bowl and take the pan off the heat.

KIMCHEE SLAW Squeeze in the juice from both limes, and add a pinch of salt and a splash of sesame oil. Really scrunch together with your hands. Taste to check the balance. Put a large saucepan on a medium heat, for the curry sauce.

CHICKEN Carefully drain the fat again, then wipe the pan with kitchen paper and reduce the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of curry paste from the food processor, toss to coat and glaze the chicken, then turn the chicken over and carry on cooking to make it sticky and delicious. Fill and boil the kettle.

CURRY SAUCE Tip the rest of the curry paste into the hot saucepan and stir in the chicken stock. Trim the green beans and add. Turn up the heat under the saucepan. Shake the tin of coconut milk then add and stir in. Bring to the boil, then turn down and leave to tick away.

NOODLES
Put the noodles into the empty frying pan with a pinch of salt and cover with boiled water. Leave for a few minutes and as soon as the noodles are soft enough to eat, quickly drain, then rinse under cold water and return to the frying pan. Drizzle over some sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and toss.

CHICKEN Check the chicken is cooked through then add 2 tablespoons of honey and toss, flipping the chicken skin side down again.

GARNISHES Pile some prawn crackers on a serving board with a good pool of chili sauce. Cut the lime into wedges, put some on the side and squeeze one of them over. Click off the lettuce leaves, wash and spin dry. Put into a bowl and add the coriander. Take to the table.

CURRY SAUCE Taste and correct the seasoning with lime juice and soy sauce, cook for another minute or so if you want a thicker sauce then take straight to the table.

TO SERVE Divide the noodles between 4 bowls. Put the chicken on a platter and let everyone layer up noodles, chicken, beansprouts, kimchee slaw, and sauce. Finish with a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.

If you had watched the actual program of Jamie making this dish he describes the Kimchee Slaw as his take on a cross between colslaw and the Kimchi he does not refer once to it being the Korean dish you are saying it is just his take on it. get your facts right before taking a dig. and by the way it is a lovely dish and compliments the meal really well. Hi 5 yet again for Jamies amazing creations. :-)

I totally agree with "Georgie"s point below, this cannot be the <Kimchee(Kimchi) Slaw - Kimchee is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with variety of seasonings)>.<br /> In this 'variety of seasonings', Jamie's favorite herb "Coriander" is NOT included and neither sesame oil. Oh, I forgot limes--WRONG--!<br /> Actually this whole <Kimchee slaw> is just not right. Maybe you could name it as 'Asian slaw' 'Oriental slaw' or if you really wanted to use a word that inspired of Korean cuisine, you could've say 'Korean Style slaw' something like that...<br /> I assure that Jamie didn't put this kind of name, it is just OTT, too lame. <br /> I too a big fan of Jamie Oliver but this piece is a bit disappointed me. <br /> Learn some REAL Korean cuisine Jamie! Either do not put the name on your food~. ;-)

Nice! Really simple to make, and tastes good (I skipped the kim-slaw and the side munchies).<br /> Before I saw this recipe on the show, I didn't really know what the ingredients for green curry paste were.<br /> I don't think I got it quite right on the first try but it still tasted fantastic :) maybe the best thing I've made for myself at home so far!

I use this method of cooking chicken on weeknights and vary up the sauce. Last week I mixed peach chutney and yogurt and used that once the chicken was cooked to make the sauce/glaze. It was delicious. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Jamie, we had this for dinner tonight....W.O.W! Our teenage girls who normally aren't fans of chicken dishes, LOVED this! It was a delicious meal and instead of the noodles we had with saffron rice and sans the kimchee slaw. Only because we ran out of time to get all the ingredients. Thank you from Sydney Australia xxx

10. by Moni on Fri 27 Jan 2012 @ 22:58

I took out my notebook as soon as I saw it was about an thai/asian recipe. I live in Mexico and I΄m gonna try it with a regular lime leave (we are lime exporters, have plenty of them ; ). Hope it works<br /> I really love the person you are and how great ur cooking is...think my husband is jealous, ji, ji, ji!

hey jamie my name is paris malaspinas i am 17 years old and i am from Greece.i am watching you for years now and i love your shows.your recipes are amazing, especially 30-min meals!anyway i just wanna tell you that i would like to teach me everything about cooking and someday maybe ill become the next jamie:P also i like your style, the kitchens and the fact that you are english men:P

Well the whole time I've lived in korea the only time I've ever seen a lime was at the foreign store in Itaewon and it was about 4000w, I've never seen radishes or red onions. There are mu, the very large white and green radishes, but they are very different in taste and texture to the small red radishes used in this. My general point is that this is nothing like Korean kimchi, maybe one or two ingredients are the same, and I find it very annoying when people assume all Asain cuisine is the same and that if they add coriander or sesame oil to something they can call it Thai, Japanese or Korean.

15. by Jack on Sun 02 Oct 2011 @ 05:18

Actually you can buy red onion, lime and radish in Korea. At any local supermarket.

16. by Justine on Sat 24 Sep 2011 @ 11:29

Another awesome recipe by Jamie. Fourth 30 minute meal I have tried, and this one is just as good as the others! The slaw is an absolute stand-out - will certainly make it into my everyday repertoire!!<br />

17. by Georgie on Wed 31 Aug 2011 @ 20:39

How is this "kimchi" slaw? The only ingredient that is the same is ginger and you cannot buy coriander, limes, radishes or red onions in Korea. Not all asian recipes are the same.

18. by Cristy on Thu 11 Aug 2011 @ 16:47

Hey Jamie! I'm 18 years old and I'm from Venezuela and I always watch your shows! I tried this recipe (although I didn't do it in 30 minutes, but in 2 hours!) and my family loved it...! Now I will try one of your pizzas, yum! Thank you so much!

19. by Tracy on Sun 31 Jul 2011 @ 02:20

Loved this recipe when I saw it on telly - was living alone at the time so no point in making it for just myself. Making it tonight for my parents and cousin!! Just went and got all the ingredients!! Can't wait!! It looks so yummo!!

20. by Daniel on Fri 29 Jul 2011 @ 07:58

Just made this and WOW! Better than anything you could buy from a shop! A+++

21. by Emelda CCariaga on Thu 28 Jul 2011 @ 13:29

Hi Jamie I am very amazed of all your recipies I have 2 books of your recipies. I also watch your tv show in TLC I have made your curry, pasta dish with red, yellow pepper and my employer loved it. I also admire you because you always use fresh ingredients which is very healthy. Keep a good work

22. by Nick on Mon 18 Jul 2011 @ 02:55

I got caught out by a few errors/omissions in this recipe, so here's a heads-up for anyone trying it for the first time. <br /> <br /> > CURRY SAUCE Put the slicer attachment into the food processor.<br /> <br /> I read this to be the same slicer disk specified at the top of the recipe. You actually need the regular "chopper" blade in the food processor.<br /> <br /> > KIMCHEE SLAW... <br /> <br /> fails to mention that you need to squeeze most of the liquid out into the sink (i.e. discard it). I only noticed this after watching Jamie doing it on the TV episode for this recipe.

23. by Khyla on Tue 12 Jul 2011 @ 08:18

So ive just made the curry sauce with the chicken and am waiting on a guest to arrive, but I cant stop picking at it! This is a great recipe!!!<br /> <br /> I couldn't find fresh kassir leaves, but managed to find some preserved ones, still taste great!!!

24. by Denise Lincoln on Sun 10 Jul 2011 @ 11:04

I cooked this tonight and it was delicious. The curry smelt wonderful simmering away and the chicken was delicious. I also really like the flavor combination of the slaw.

25. by Zoe on Sun 10 Jul 2011 @ 04:42

Cooked this today and loved it!! I found it a bit runny, next time perhaps I will try half the amount of chicken stock? Thanks for the recipe Jamie.

26. by Kelly on Sat 09 Jul 2011 @ 17:44

Tried making this the curry dint turn out like I think it wo ment to wasn't green more orange due to the red chillies and was abit bland, never had green curry before so not sure what it's supposed to taste like. Chicken was lovely tho.

27. by Cully on Mon 04 Jul 2011 @ 15:22

Had the neighbors round at the weekend and it went down a storm. Keep up the good work.... respect!

28. by Rachel on Sat 18 Jun 2011 @ 11:55

Jamie, you are my cooking God...without you my family would be eating average meals. Thank you for making me the fabulous home chef that I am, you continue to inspire me (and my children) 12 years later! Love your work. xxoo Rachel

29. by maz on Tue 14 Jun 2011 @ 18:00

What a fab recipe! Wasn't sure what it would turn out like but it tasted great! Now making it for the second time in a week due to housemates demands! A recipe loved by all who have tried it!

30. by Kash on Mon 30 May 2011 @ 18:59
