That was somebody else’s answer. Yours takes about twenty seconds: a handful of either-ors, then one dish.

How to make laksa

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Coconut, chilli, noodles

45 minutes · serves 3 · Medium

What you need

  • 3 tbsp laksa paste
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 500ml stock
  • 200g rice noodles
  • 200g prawns
  • 2 fried tofu puffs
  • 2 eggs
  • Beansprouts
  • 1 lime
  • Coriander

What you do

  1. 1Fry the paste in oil for 3 minutes until it darkens and the oil splits out.
  2. 2Coconut milk and stock in. Simmer gently — a hard boil splits coconut milk.
  3. 3Taste and balance: it wants to be salty, sweet, sour and hot all at once. Adjust with fish sauce, sugar and lime.
  4. 4Cook the noodles separately and put them in the bowl, not the pot.
  5. 5Prawns in the broth for 2 minutes only.
  6. 6Ladle over, then beansprouts, halved egg, tofu, coriander and more lime.
