The result was delicious! I’ve made this a few times and served both this with and without noodles so have listed the points/calories for both below. If you don’t like peanut butter, just leave it out.

WW POINTS AND NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Serves 4

With noodles – 15 points or 496 cals, 18.3g fat, 19g protein, 65.9g carbs per serving

Without noodles  – 12 points or 359 cals, 7.7g fat, 14.6g protein, 37.8g carbs per serving

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 white onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 cube each of frozen garlic and ginger (or 1 tbsp each of the equivalent paste)
• 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
• 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
• 1 chicken stock cube made up with 600ml boiling water
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp light brown sugar
• 400ml light coconut milk
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 x packs chicken gyoza (20 in total)
• 80g edamame beans
• 2 heads of pack Choi, base removed and washed
• 400g udon noodles (if having, I use the Tiger Toget brand from Tesco)
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• Handful fresh coriander and basil, roughly chopped
• Sprinkle of black sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp chilli oil (my fav is the Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chilli Oil)

METHOD

1. Take a large pan, add the sesame oil and bring to a medium heat.
2. Add the onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until it begins to soften then add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further minute. Add a drop of water if the pan gets dry.
3. Next add the curry paste and peanut butter and fry for a further minute. Then add half the stock, stir until the paste is nicely combined and then add the rest of the stock.
4. Add the soy, fish sauce, sugar and coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Finally add the gyoza, stir and pop on the lid, reducing the heat to medium/low. Cook the gyoza for 3/4 minutes. Don’t overcook as they will fall apart.
6. While the gyoza are cooking, pop the edamame, pak choi and udon into a separate sauce pan, top with boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes.
7. Drain in a colander, popping under the cold tap to cool the veggies so they keep their colour.
8. Now you are ready to assemble. Add the edamame, pak choi and noodles to a bowl. Top with the gyozas and then soup. Finish with a sprinkle of spring onions, coriander, basil, black sesame and crispy chilli oil.
