Laksa
submitted by: Skyweir
brown chicken or whatever you like .. add some laksa paste .. or thai curry paste .. toss around chicken in paste .. add chicken stock and water .. to make a soup .. add half a can of coconut cream .. to get the correct laksa taste ..
add fish sauce for flavour .. and a lime leef if you have it .. if not dont worry ..
simmer soup till chicken is cooked .. it wont take long .. ((and you dont have to brown the chicken first if you dont want to .. you can cook the chicken in the soup)) ((i just like it browned))
add tofu and allow it to simmer with the chicken and absorb the lasksa flavour ..
add veggies .. bean sprouts, bok choy .. green beans .. in the last few minutes .. so they dont get over cooked ..
prepare egg or rice noodles of both before hand ..
I like to add noodles to the base of each bowl and then pour the soup ontop .. but you can also add noodles to the soup .. but be careful not to let the noodles absorb all the soup .. cos they will .. the devils ..
fresh basil is nice to add .. but the most important fresh herb with laksa .. is corriander (sp?)
do not even think about making a good laksa without it
