Instructions
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

- Pop the couscous and chicken stock powder in a medium bowl.
- Add 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p).
- Cover with a plate or cling film.
- Leave aside for 10 mins.
- Add 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken and toss to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the chicken, shifting frequently until golden all over, 7-8 mins.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.

- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 min more.
- Add the red Thai paste, ketjap manis, 25ml water (double for 4p) and chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the peas.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.
