What's laska?

This recipe is based on laksa, a traditional Malaysian noodle soup. Laksa can be made with either rice or egg noodles - so if you already have egg noodles in the cupboard, just use those instead.

'This was quite fiery. I could only buy one type of mushroom, but I think the mixed pack would give it much more flavour.'

    This was really nice. I added a teaspoon of palm sugar.

    It was good but quite watery. I would add less than a can of extra water next time.
