About the recipe

Cooking in a bag is a beautiful method, where you pick your favourite ingredient combos, seal them inside a foil parcel that puffs up when heated and allows everything to cook and steam into each other. It’s not only delicious, but can save you loads of time and help you get ahead for the week. Give it a try!

8cm piece of ginger

2 cloves of garlic

1 stick of lemongrass

1½ fresh red chillies

1 bunch of coriander (30g)

4 tbsp low-salt soy sauce

Top Tip

More and more people are getting into meal prep, but this recipe is something I’ve done for over 30 years! When I lived in a studio flat, I used to create these parcels for Jools, and leave them in the fridge for her with a little note, and the cooking time and temperature – I like to think of it as a little envelope of love and care.

Method

  1. In a bowl, cover the noodles with boiling kettle water and leave to soften for a few moments, then drain and refresh under cold running water.
  2. Tear the lime leaves into a small food processor, discarding any tough stalks. Peel, roughly chop and add the ginger and garlic, chop and add the lemongrass and 1 chilli, most of the coriander, stalks and all (reserving a few nice leaves), and a pinch of sea salt. Add the soy and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and blitz into a paste. Divide the paste into four, keeping one portion for now and freezing the rest for future meals.
  3. Score deeply into the chicken a few times at an angle and rub with half the paste portion. Halve the pak choi, sugar snaps and baby corn, trim and finely slice the spring onions, then toss it all with the remaining half-portion of paste.
  4. Tear off a large sheet of thick tin foil (about 60cm long), fold it in half, then open it out like a book and rub one side with sesame oil. Top with the noodles and veg. Finely slice and scatter over the remaining chilli, then sit the chicken on top. Fold over the foil to create a parcel, twisting the edges to seal, and add 50ml of water before sealing the final side. Place in the air-fryer drawer and cook for 25 minutes at 200ºC, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove the bag to a serving plate and carefully tear open the foil. Crush over the nuts, scatter over the coriander leaves and finish with a squeeze of lime.

This recipe is for a 1-drawer air fryer.


All recipes from Easy Air Fryer were tested at least twice in a Tefal single (4.2 litres) or dual (8.3 litres) air fryer, as well as in a range of air fryers by my team of office testers at home. All air fryers are different, so results may vary – please follow the recipe instructions for guidance, and use your instincts to adjust times accordingly if your machine runs a little hotter or colder than average.
