By Brita Du Plessis

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

2 T olive oil
150 g Woolworths fresh laksa paste
1 x 400 ml can coconut milk
1 sachet Woolworths chicken liquid stock concentrate
1 litre water
1 whole free-range chicken
1 butternut, peeled and cut into half-moons
200 g pak choi, sliced
400 g Woolworths pad Thai noodles

5 g mint
2 limes, for serving

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the laksa paste and fry for 1–2 minutes or until fragrant.
