servings 8
core ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 7 oz jar of Laksa Paste
- 4 cup broth
- 8 lime leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 12 oz tofu
- 1 lb raw large shrimp
- 27 oz full-fat coconut milk
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (to taste)
- 1 pound dry rice noodles
extra ingredients
- garnishes: bean sprouts, lime wedges, cilantro, mint, scallions, sambal chili paste, fried shallots
- additional items: mushrooms, edamame, bamboo shoots, chopped spinach, bell pepper
instructions
- Cook rice noodles according to directions. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil. Add Laksa Paste, and saute, stirring constantly until it becomes very fragrant and deep in color about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the broth, scraping up all the brown bits.
- Add the lime leaves, salt and sugar and bring to a simmer.
- Add shrimp, cook for 2-3 minutes, add coconut milk and tofu.
- Simmer until heated through. Do not boil this too long (just a few minutes).
- Add lime juice and fish sauce to taste. The broth should taste rich, deep, and slightly salty (the noodles will mellow the salt out).
notes
- Por Kwan is a good laksa paste
- You really should try and make it on your own some time. The linked recipe has instructions.
