This is one of my favorite healthy noodle recipes.

Ingredients: 

• 1 whole chicken
• 300g of rice noodles
• 200ml of coconut milk
• the zest and juice of one whole lime
• 1 lemongrass stalk

Method

1- Place the chicken in a large saucepan with the coriander seeds, ginger, lime zest, lemongrass and a pinch of salt. Add cold water to cover and slowly bring to the boil.

2- Carefully take the chicken out of the saucepan and place on to a plate and cover with foil. Leave the stock to stand. Pull the chicken from the bones and tear in to chunks.

4- Add the chicken chunks to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until warmed through completely. Add the spring onions and lime juice to taste.
5- Divide the noodles between 6 bowls, divide and scoop the chicken and veg in to each of the bowls. Place on top of the noodles and garnish with coriander and mint leaves.
