2 teaspoons sunflower oil
250g lean chicken mince
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed, cut on the diagonal
1L (4 cups) chicken stock
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 long red chilli, sliced on an angle
12 green king prawns, peeled (tails intact), deveined
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus wedges to serve
1/2 cup coriander leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
100g flat rice noodles
1 tablespoon chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
Chilli powder, to serve

Method

1.

Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season and set aside.
2.

Blanch broccolini in boiling salted water for 3 minutes or until tender. Drain and refresh under cold water. Set aside.
3.

Combine stock, garlic and sliced chilli in a pan and bring to the boil. Add prawns, fish sauce and sugar, then cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until prawns are opaque. Add broccolini and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through, then stir through lime juice and most of the herbs.
4.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain, then divide among 4 serving bowls.
5.

Remove prawns and broccolini from the broth with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of the noodles. Top with chicken, then ladle over broth. Scatter over peanuts, chilli powder and remaining herbs, then serve immediately with a lime wedge.
