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 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.

    I make a soup similar to this. You begin by gently frying 2 teaspoons of green curry paste, a finely sliced red chilli, grated fresh ginger and garlic and then add about 500ml of chicken stock and simmer for 15 mins. After that you add the coconut milk (2 cans) and the mushrooms (which I always fry off first) as well as fresh coriander, fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and a splash of sesame oil to taste. I serve it with rice noodles and offer shredded poached chicken breast for anyone who wants it. It's wonderful.
