• 2 teaspoons green peppercorns in brine

• 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

• 2 cups coriander leaves with tender stems, plus more for serving

• 1/3 cup mint leaves, plus more for serving

• 60ml virgin coconut oil, melted, slightly cooled

• 2 (375g) cans unsweetened coconut milk

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

• 1 lemongrass stalk, bottom third only, tough outer layers removed, bruised with the back of a knife

• 4 cups coarsely chopped Swiss chard leaves (from about 1 1/2 bunches)

Pulse spring onions, garlic, chillies, ginger, green peppercorns, turmeric, 2 cups coriander, 1/3 cup mint, and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor until coarsely ground. With motor running, stream in coconut oil; process until smooth. Scrape paste into a medium pot and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until slightly darkened in colour and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk, lime juice, and 725ml water and bring to a boil. Add lemongrass; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, 25–30 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard; cook until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in coconut sugar; season curry with salt.

Meanwhile, cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and divide among bowls.

Spoon curry over noodles and top with more coriander and mint. Serve with lime wedges.
