  3. Cook potatoes and carrot in pot of boiling water for 8–10 minutes, until tender. Drain well and set aside.

  5. Add pulled beef, remaining coconut milk and ½ cup of the chicken stock to pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 6 minutes, breaking up beef with a wooden spoon, until thickened. Add fish sauce, soy sauce and cooked veggies and season to taste with salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add remaining ½ cup of chicken stock.
  6. While curry simmers, finely dice tomato and cucumber, and thinly slice spring onion. Toss together in a shallow bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
