3 Tbsp of curry mixed with 1/2 cup of water
4 boneless chicken thighs, deboned and cut into bite sized pieces.
1 Tsp belachan paste
1 Tbsp Chilli paste
5 cups of water
Salt
pepper
1 Tbsp of tamarind paste
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup coconut cream

The insruction manual:
Boil the egg noodles for 5 minutes with salt and a little oil until cooked and run under cold water.

To make the curry,
Heat oil, and fry the garlic and lemon grass
Fry the blended onion and garlic until fragrant and caramelised. Around 10 minutes.
Then, add the curry paste,chilli paste and belachan until fragrant as well
Add the water and bring to a boil.

Richness,tang and heat wrapped into one. Just nice. What would be even more fantastic is by liquidisng boiled sweet potato into the curry to give it that extra smoothness,thickness and sweetness. mmm
