If you want to double the recipe: If I were making for four, I think I’d stick with 1 tin of coconut milk and just add more stock. If you love coconut milk, you can add two and double it that way! This is enough mince for 4 people I’d say. In terms of flavours for four people, a lot will depend on your brand of Thai curry paste and coconut milk, too. So it may need a little more lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce. Taste and adjust as you see fit.

Make this recipe even easier: You can use a rotisserie chicken, shred it and just stir through the brothy noodles at the end if you are short on time.

How to get your children to eat it too: This is a great one for serving the whole family. I hold back on the soy and fish sauce until I’ve scooped their portion out and then adjust mine. You can also serve the vegetables on the side rather than stirred through the noodles if that’s how your children like to eat.

Make your own teriyaki: If you don’t have teriyaki sauce but have the below ingredients, you can make your own but of course, not necessary!

• 60 ml soy sauce

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp garlic, grated

• 1 tsp ginger, grated

• 120 ml water

• 1 tbsp cornflour

Mix together the cornflour and water into a slurry. Then pour the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger into a pan and heat gently. Once gently bubbling, add the cornflour and water mixture and whisk well to combine. It should thicken and be nice and glossy.

Variations:

• Very good with some shredded rotisserie chicken on top or leftover chicken from something else. You could also poach a chicken thigh/breast in the coconut milk broth and once cooked, remove from the pan and slice. Or instead cut into cubes and then fry off in a pan with teriyaki sauce like you would the pork mince.

• Swap the pork mince for chicken/beef/turkey mince.

• You can make it veggie by cooking an extra egg and lots more veggies on top, such as pan fried mushrooms, sliced carrots, broccoli, green beans even.

• For another veggie option, add tofu instead of pork. You can either use your fingers to crumble the tofu in the pan with some oil to mimic the pork mince or fry off cubes/planks and add on top. Or silken tofu is very good too if you like that.

What to do with leftovers: Leftover crispy pork is so good in a lettuce cup the next day with more chilli oil, some herbs, some avo, maybe even some cucumber. Leftover ramen can turn the noodles a little soggy but it’s still good! Keep it in a Tupperware in the fridge for 3 days or so, reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.
