Malaysian Laksa

Laksa is a beloved spicy noodle soup from Southeast Asia, with many regional variations. This recipe is for a classic Malaysian Curry Laksa, which features a rich, fragrant, and spicy broth made from a base of coconut milk and a flavorful laksa paste. The soup is filled with rice noodles and typically loaded with a variety of toppings like tender chicken, succulent shrimp, and absorbent tofu puffs. It’s a complex and incredibly satisfying dish that is a true explosion of flavors. The finishing touches of fresh bean sprouts, a hard-boiled egg, and a squeeze of lime bring everything together. While a truly authentic laksa paste is a complex blend of many ingredients, using a good quality store-bought paste makes this amazing dish accessible for a home cook.
