👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the noodles: If using dried rice vermicelli, soak them in hot water according to package directions until pliable but still firm (al dente). Drain well and set aside. If using fresh noodles, prepare them just before serving.
⏱️ 10 minutes (soaking/prep) - 2
Fry the laksa paste: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (approx. 175°C / 350°F). Add the laksa paste and fry, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste, about 5-7 minutes. This step blooms the spices.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 3
Build the broth: Pour in the chicken or prawn stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the coconut milk. Bring the broth back to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it infuse for about 15-20 minutes. Do not boil vigorously after adding coconut milk.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 4
Cook the additions: Add the tofu puffs to the simmering broth and cook for about 5 minutes to allow them to soak up the flavor. Then, add the prawns and cook for just 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns and tofu puffs from the broth with a slotted spoon and set aside.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 5
Assemble the bowls: Divide the prepared rice noodles among four deep serving bowls. Ladle the hot laksa broth over the noodles. Arrange the cooked prawns and tofu puffs on top.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Garnish and serve: Top generously with fresh bean sprouts and mint leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges and chili oil or sambal on the side for guests to customize their bowls.
⏱️ 2 minutes

- ✓For a richer broth, use full-fat coconut milk and don't boil the broth vigorously after adding it, as it can split.
- ✓Adjust the amount of laksa paste and stock to achieve your desired level of spice and saltiness.
- ✓This recipe focuses on Curry Laksa. Asam Laksa is a different dish with a sour, fish-based broth.
