👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the broth base: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and fry, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes until it becomes very fragrant and slightly darker. Be careful not to burn it. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir well to combine with the paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 2
Cook the proteins: While the broth simmers, poach the chicken breast in a separate small pot of simmering water or in a portion of the broth until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the simmering broth during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Prepare noodles and garnishes: Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to prevent sticking. In a separate bowl, blanch the bean sprouts by pouring boiling water over them, then immediately draining. This softens them slightly while keeping them crisp. Roughly chop the laksa leaf.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Assemble the Laksa: Divide the cooked noodles among four large serving bowls. Top with shredded chicken, cooked shrimp, tofu puffs, and blanched bean sprouts. Ladle the hot, fragrant laksa broth generously over the noodles and toppings. Garnish with the chopped laksa leaf. Serve immediately.

💡 专业技巧
- ✓The quality of your laksa paste is paramount to the final flavor. Use a reputable brand or a well-tested homemade recipe.
- ✓The broth should be rich, creamy, and have a pleasant spicy kick. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and a pinch of sugar if needed.
- ✓Laksa leaf (Vietnamese coriander) provides a unique, slightly peppery, and herbaceous aroma that is characteristic of authentic laksa. Fresh is best, but if unavailable, a combination of fresh cilantro and mint can offer a substitute.
- ✓For an even richer broth, you can add a splash of evaporated milk or a bit more coconut cream at the end of cooking.
