Method

Season to taste and serve in bowls topped with fresh coriander.

Add mange tout and red pepper and simmer for two more minutes until cooked through.

Simmer the chicken balls in the broth for five minutes, then add noodles and simmer for two minutes.

Strain the stock into a clean pan and stir in remaining shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, sliced chillies, and bruised lemongrass.

Mix chicken ball ingredients in a bowl and roll into 16 balls using cornflour-dusted hands.

Add lime leaves, one sliced shallot, ginger, and halved garlic, then cook gently for 15 minutes.

Simmer chicken stock with chopped lemongrass and two split chillies in a large saucepan.
