Me Likey Laksa

Hi Peeps

The weather has cooled slightly in Perth lately and as a result I have found myself cooking hearty meals....like this Laksa. It is one of my favourite recipes and I love adding my own fresh homegrown herbs. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

What you will need:

• 1 x packet of dried rice vermicelli noodles

• 1/2 cup laksa paste (I use Latashas Kitchen brand from IGA)

• 1 tsp olive oil

• 2 x garlic cloves diced

• 1 x brown onion diced

• 2 x fresh chilli diced

• 400ml can coconut milk

• 2 cups chicken stock

• 1/2 large barbecued chicken, skin and bones removed, meat shredded

• 150g snow peas, trimmed, thinly sliced

• 2 x carrot diced

• 1 x capsicum diced

• 1 x handful corrainder chopped finely

Method

• Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes or until tender. Using a fork, separate noodles. Drain.

• Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and stirfry for 2 minutes. Add laksa paste and chilli. Stir-fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add coconut milk and stock. Bring to the boil. Add chicken, snow peas, capsicum and carrot. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until snow peas are bright green and tender.

• Divide noodles between bowls. Spoon over coconut milk mixture. Top with corrainder and serve.
