Ingredients:
  • 2 large chicken breast fillets, thinly sliced
  • 765.00 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 150g rice vermicelli noodles
  • 400ml can light coconut milk
  • 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed, halved lengthways
  • 150g green beans, trimmed, halved lengthways
  • 150g snow peas, trimmed
  • 250.00 ml bean sprouts, trimmed
  • 42.00 gm lime juice, plus wedges, to serve
  • 62.50 ml fresh Vietnamese mint leaves
  • 62.50 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, trimmed
  • 4 makrut lime leaves, deveined, roughly chopped
  • 3 long green chillies, roughly chopped
  • 3cm piece fresh galangal, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 3cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, quartered
  • 1 eschalot, roughly chopped
  • 12.20 gm shrimp paste
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1.25 gm ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
Instructions:
  • Create delicious Laksa Paste by approximately chopping half of the lemongrass and placing it in a mini food processor. Next, add lime leaves, chili, galangal, ginger, garlic, eschalot, shrimp paste, turmeric, cumin, and ground coriander. Process everything until finely chopped. Slowly pour in oil while continuing to process until a smooth paste forms.
  • Cut the remaining lemongrass in half. Heat a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the paste, stirring, for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken and cook for 1 minute, tossing to coat in the paste. Stir in the stock and lemongrass. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare noodles according to package instructions and drain thoroughly.
  • Pour in the creamy coconut milk, vibrant broccolini, satisfying beans, and crunchy snow peas into the fragrant laksa broth. Season with a generous sprinkle of pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are perfectly tender and the chicken is cooked to perfection. Serve over a bed of noodles in individual bowls. Garnish the laksa with crisp bean sprouts, a drizzle of zesty lime juice, and a sprinkle of refreshing mint and fragrant coriander leaves. Accompany with lime wedges for an added burst of citrusy flavor.
