A bowl of this laksa is comfort food at its finest – creamy, spicy, and bursting with bold flavours. Plus, it’s endlessly customisable with whatever veggies or proteins you have on hand. Don’t forget the drizzle of Fuoco crispy chilli oil to finish it off with a fiery flourish!
Method:
-
Cook the Prawns: In a frypan, sauté prawns in garlic butter with a spoonful of Fuoco crispy chilli oil until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
-
Start the Base: Heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add laksa paste and stir until aromatic.
-
Build the Broth: Stir in coconut milk, a spoonful of peanut butter, honey, fish sauce, soy sauce, 1L of chicken stock, and a cup of water. Mix until everything is combined and simmering.
-
Add Veggies & Noodles: Chop and add carrots to the pot. Add rice noodles, ensuring they’re fully submerged to cook. Pour in some coconut cream for extra richness.
-
Finish with Greens: Toss in your chopped greens and let the laksa simmer until they’re tender.
-
Assemble: Ladle the laksa into bowls and top with the cooked prawns.
-
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle over chopped parsley, bean sprouts, spring onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Finish with a drizzle of Fuoco crispy chilli oil for that perfect spicy kick.
Rich, fragrant, and customisable, this homemade laksa is the ultimate feel-good dish. Perfect for a cosy night in or impressing at dinner!
