The secret to any successful stir fry is to have all the ingredients chopped and ready to go. The cooking time is so short, for this recipe it's only 8 minutes, that you do not have time for chopping while cooking - unless you are a real whizz with a knife!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 red onion, sliced into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1/2 long red chilli, sliced
400g chicken thigh fillet, thinly sliced
12 large basil leaves
20 green beans, trimmed and sliced into short lengths
2 kaffir lime leaves, centre stem removed, leaves finely chopped
1/2 cup Vitasoy Coconutmilk Unsweetened
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, to serve

Method

Heat a wok on high heat and add coconut oil and onion. Stir fry for 1 minute then add garlic, ginger and chilli and stir fry for 30 seconds more. Add the chicken strips and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through
Add the basil leaves, beans and kaffir lime leaves and stir fry for 2 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Pour in the Vitasoy Coconut Milk Unsweetened and fish sauce and stir well. Serve hot with rice or noodles

Tips & Hints

Chicken breast can be used rather than thigh fillet if you prefer. Or for a vegetarian option: Leave out the chicken and use tofu strips and substitute a (gluten free if required) soy sauce for the fish sauce.
