Andrew’s last night in a sling after shoulder surgery Thai Kaffir Lime & Coriander Chicken
300g thinly sliced chicken breast. Organic if you’re in sickness and battery hen if you’re in health.
Garlic finely chopped. I didn’t actually put that in but wanted to sound like I knew what I was up to.
2 peppers and 1 capsicum. Len capsicums look very similar to peppers only they’re better, cut them up.
Spinach. Freshly grown in the back yard or purchased in a plastic bag from supermarket.
Poppadoms How ever you like them
Heat big fake wok with flat bottom and round sides on gas top hob
Add olive oil (If you can find any extra virgins in New York you’re doing better than Mitch)
Garlic into hot pan, braise;
Add chicken on top.
Sear both sides.
Don’t burn arm in sling on wok.
Now the secret ingredients;
Add Kaffir Lime & coriander (Sharwoods Thai stir fry sauce)
Add capsicum and peppers.
Stir rapidly using dodgy arm in sling to hold fake flat bottom wok still and good left arm with bad stirring technique to stir/throw half the contents everywhere. (Len leave mess for Kate to clean up after; she thinks chefs are sexy and chefs don’t clean up after.)
You’re almost there.
Add spinach depending on how much you want to reduce it, just wait longer.
Serve hot and try not to be distracted by the tele and spill on floor (Len don’t leave this on floor as chefs don’t miss the plate or watch tele while serving)
Put plates on the table
At this point I generally double check that chicken cooked right the way through.
......
Take plates back to hob put contents back into fake flat bottom wok and heat until perfectly cooked
Use knife to test pre-cut chicken just to make sure it’s cooked.
Don’t burn arm in sling on stupidly large fake flat bottomed wok.
Serve (on clean plates if you like) remembering to put poppadoms on or beside plate this time around.
Yum Yum.
