PRAWN LAKSA
(serves 2)
250g rice noodles, cooked + drained
1/4 cup laksa paste
4-6 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped finely
2-3 lemongrass stalks, bruised
400ml coconut cream
400ml coconut milk
4 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp sugar
300g prawns, shelled + deveined
2 tbsp lime juice, fresh
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 cups bean sprouts
1 bunch tatsoi or greens of choice
2 eggs, soft boiled

Garnish
Chilli Oil
Cilantro
Googy egg
Crispy fried shallots


METHOD

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then set them aside.

Heat a dash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add the garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Pour in 300ml of the coconut cream (save the remaining 100ml for later) along with the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the lime leaves and chicken stock, then bring it back to a boil.

Add the prawns, soup dumplings (if using), and greens. Let everything cook for about 2 minutes — it will continue to cook in the hot broth once removed from the heat.

Stir in the remaining coconut cream, a good squeeze of lime juice, fish sauce, and most of the bean sprouts (save a few for garnish).

To serve, divide the noodles between bowls and pour over the hot broth. Top with fresh cilantro, chili oil, crispy shallots, a soft-boiled egg, extra bean sprouts, and a wedge of lime.
