Ingredients
- 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Malaysian Laksa Curry
- handful of greens, such as bok choy, green beans or broccoli
- 80g wide rice noodles or egg noodles
- 1 tbsp oil
- 3 x boneless and skinless chicken thighs, cut into bitesize pieces
- 1 rounded tsp tomato puree
- 120ml chicken stock
- 60g beansprouts
For the sambal
- 40g fresh fat red chillies (optional to remove seeds)
- 60g red pepper
- 30g fresh garlic
- 5g fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp oil
Step by step
- Make the sambal by blending all the ingredients apart from the oil together with a little bit of water. Heat the oil in a pan, add the blended sambal ingredients and cook over a low heat, for 15-20 minutes to cook everything through. You might need to add a splash of water to the pan if you are worried about it catching and burning. Season well.
- Meanwhile, blanch the greens in a pan of boiling water and remove with a slotted spoon when just cooked. Then in the same water cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and place the noodles into two serving bowls with the veg on the side.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over a medium-high heat and add the red chilli from the smallest sachet from the kit and cook for 10 seconds. Then add the chicken and cook until golden on all sides, around 5-6 minutes.
- Add the laksa paste and tomato puree. Stir through properly. Add the coconut milk and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, another 5-6 minutes or so.
- Add the beansprouts and bring back to a simmer. Spoon the laksa into the bowls. Add a spoonful of sambal for anyone who wants the heat, and garnish with herbs, lime wedges, a soft-boiled egg or anything else you like.
