You should be left with about 500ml of clear chicken stock.

  3. Gently pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce. Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat, simmer for a minute.

  4. Add the green beans and carrots to the soup and simmer for 2 minutes.

  5. Add the smoked chicken, coriander, bok choi and spring onions to the soup, finish with a squeeze of lime juice.

  6. Add the cooked Tilda Fragrant Jasmine Rice to soup bowls.

  7. Carefully pour the soup over the rice. Sprinkle the chopped chilli on top and drizzle with sesame/rapeseed oil.
