A very delicious LAKSA DELIGHT AT KEDAH :)

Laksa Ingredients

1 Large Chicken Breast (frozen)
1 440 Gram Can of Coconut Milk (or 14 Fl Oz)
1 1/2 Cups of Chicken Stock
1 Packet of Asian Home Gourmet Singapore Laksa Paste
Vegetable Oil
1 Packet of Thai Rice Noodles (or any noodles will do - see noodle variations below).
Serves - 2 people 

 

Step 1 - Prepare And Stir Fry Chicken

 

Allow chicken to thaw slightly then slice chicken into wafer thin bite size pieces with a sharp knife. By the time you are ready to stir fry, the chicken will be thawed. I recommend cutting it while semi frozen because it's easier to get that wafer thin effect.
Add a splash of oil to a hot wok and stir fry chicken until cooked. I stir fry the chicken in three separate lots so the chicken cooks quickly and does not get too much water in it.
Set aside chicken and turn heat off temporarily.

Step 2 - Boil Water For Noodles and Stir Fry The Laksa Paste

 

Fill your kettle with water and boil. (You will use this boiling water to soak the Rice Noodles).
Add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable) to the wok, and stir fry the paste for about 2 minutes. This releases all the flavours of the Laksa Paste. Leave your stove heat on low while you do this as you do not want the paste to burn.
Add the can of coconut milk to the wok, mixing in the paste, and bring it to the boil. As soon as it boils, add 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to boil again. As soon as it boils, turn down to a low heat and let it simmer for ten minutes.
Grab a large bowl, empty the contents of your Rice Noodles into it and pour kettle of boiling water over the noodles. Add more boiling water if you need to. The rice noodles will soften. You can also use a fork to separate them. When ten minutes is up, strain the noodles and set aside to serve.

 

Step 3 - Serve Your Laksa

 

A minute or two before the ten minutes simmering has expired on your Laksa soup, throw the chicken into the soup to warm it. Increase the temperature if you need to, to heat the chicken through.
Grab some bowls, half fill your bowl with rice noodles, and then spoon over as much Laksa and chicken over the noodles as you think you'll eat. I suggest serving in smaller quantities as soup can cool before you get to the end of a big bowl. You can always top up your serving if you need more.

 

Vegetable Additions To Laksa

 

I've added Bok Choi to Laksa and it's delicious. Just finely chop a bunch and throw it into the soup a minute or two before serving.
You can also add snow peas or any vegetable you enjoy.
Mostly I keep mine plain and simple as it's very tasty without vegetables.
