Method:

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large, heavy frying pan. Add the magic paste and lemon grass and stir-fry over a low to medium heat for 4-5 seconds, until they give off their aroma.

2. Stir in the curry paste, then add the strips of chicken or pork to the wok or pan. Stir-fry over a medium to high heat for 2 minutes, until the chicken or pork is coated in the paste and seared on all sides.

3. Add the soy sauce, coconut milk and sliced lime leaves. Bring the coconut milk to a simmer, then add the noodles.

4. Simmer gently for about 4 minutes, tossing the mixture occasionally to make sure that the noodles cook evenly and do not clump together.

5. Add the Chinese leaves and the shredded spinach or watercress. Stir well. Add the lime juice.

6. Spoon into a serving bowl or two individual bowls, sprinkle with the chopped fresh coriander or parsley, and serve.

Note: Chicken or pork can be used in this tasty dish. It is so quick and easy to prepare and cooks in next to no time, making it the perfect snack for busy people.
