HOW TO DO IT

1 Blanch the beans and sweetcorn in boiling water for 2 mins, then drain and set aside.

2 Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the curry paste and fry for 2 mins, stirring. Put the onion mixture to one side and increase the heat. Add the beef and cook for a couple of mins until browned.

3 Add all the remaining ingredients except the herbs and rice or noodles, and simmer for 2-3 mins until thickened. Stir in plenty of black pepper and the herbs, and serve with rice or noodles.

TIP IF YOU DON'T HAVE KAFFIR LIME LEAVES, ADD THE FINELY GRATED ZEST OF A LEMON OR LIME.
