Cut the snow peas, princess beans, peppers, carrot and spring onion into thin strips. Flatten the lemongrass so that the aroma can develop. Cut the chicken breast fillets into thin strips.

  3. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, then add the vegetables to the wok. Bring to the boil, add the soy sauce and fish sauce and simmer over a low heat for approx. 5 mins. Add the chicken and cook for a further 5 mins. Serve with rice and garnish with cashew nuts and Thai basil.
