Meanwhile fry the skin and fat over medium heat until fat melts and skin gets golden and crispy, take out and dust some cumin and chilli powder over the chicken skin crisps and snack on them while you keep going with the rest of the stuff

Fry the marinated chicken, curry paste and dried shrimp until aromatic and chicken turns colour, you can add a bit of coconut milk or water here to make it less pasty if things get stuck a bit

Once your kitchen smells amazing, add in the rest of the coconut milk, shiitake, frozen tofu and let simmer for 10 mins, add in mange tout now and let simmer for a further 10 mins.
