Method

Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce and 100ml boiling water; pour into a 6.5ltr slow-cooker. Add the chicken thigh fillets, stir together and close the lid. Cook on high for 1 hr.
Carefully remove the chicken and shred, keeping the lid of the slow-cooker closed so it retains the heat. Return the shredded chicken to the slow-cooker and add the cabbage, carrot and half the spring onions; cook for another 30 mins.
Cook the noodles to pack instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Stir the noodles into the pad Thai with half the peanuts, coriander and crushed chillies. Divide between plates and top with the remaining spring onions, peanuts, coriander and crushed chillies, then serve with the lime wedges.

Tip: To cook in the oven, follow step 1 and cook in a lidded casserole dish at gas 2,150°C, fan 130°C for 1 hr. Continue with the remainder of the recipe(returning to the oven for a further 30 mins as per step 2).
