Laksa Noodle Soup image

Recipe video above. This is a recipe for a real Malaysian restaurant quality laksa made by sprucing up store bought laksa paste! You can't just dump store bought laksa paste into coconut broth! The key is to freshen up the paste by sautéing it with garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. Makes a world of difference! This makes 2 large bowls. Because large is the only way to go with Laksa!

My daughter got this recipe from a fellow army work friend. We have adapted this recipe to what ever is in the fridge at the time. It is a delicious flavour and the flavour changes all the time depending of what you feel like using at the time. Although this is for one, we just increase the ingredients to the number of people coming to dinner. This is an easy peasy Laksa recipe.
