Ingredients

  1. 200g dried rice noodles
  2. 400g King Prawns, peeled and deveined
  3. 1 tbsp olive oil
  4. 1 small onion, finely chopped
  5. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  6. 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  7. 2 tbsp laksa paste (adjust to taste)
  8. 400ml coconut milk
  9. 500ml chicken or seafood stock
  10. 1 tbsp fish sauce
  11. 1 tsp brown sugar
  12. 100g bean sprouts
  13. 2 boiled eggs, halved
  14. Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
  15. Lime wedges, to serve
  16. Red chilli slices (optional, for garnish)

Method

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the flavours.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken or vegetable stock, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let the broth cook for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the prawns to the broth and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
  7. Stir in the lime juice, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more sugar if needed.
  8. To serve, place the cooked rice noodles in bowls and ladle the prawn laksa over the top. Garnish with fresh coriander and sliced red chilli.

Chef's Tip

For a rich and balanced laksa, allow the laksa paste to cook gently in the oil before adding the liquids so the spices fully develop their aroma and depth of flavour. Add the king prawns towards the end of cooking and simmer only briefly to keep them tender, sweet, and juicy. The combination of creamy coconut milk, fresh lime, and spicy broth should feel bold but balanced, with the fresh herbs and bean sprouts adding brightness and texture just before serving.
