A Killer Malaysian Laksa Noodle Soup
Laksa is a delicious traditional Malaysian soup which is basically a combination of a curry and a pho or stock based noodle soup. It uses the creamy coconut milk component with a more liquid base to give super cozy soup. It does have a kick but actually less than a normal curry. Enough to open the airways but also being able to taste the other flavours within.
The diversity in a laksa is so great! Add left over meat or seafood, random bits of veggies, herbs, nuts, make it gluten free, make it noodle focused or veg oriented.. the possibilities are really then to personal preference. The key part is to get the base right so building on this can be really simple. Here is my base Laksa recipe
