  This is a simple but flavoursome recipe. It is now one of my favourite dishes to cook, I cook it at least once a week. It tastes better then the laksa you can buy from a restaurant and you can vary the intensity of the heat depending on your mood by adding an extra spoonful of laksa paste. Thumbs up! :)

  Could not find laksa paste, so used a small amount of green thai curry paste. Tasted great. Served it with homemade naan bread which went very well. Really quick and easy to prepare and cook.

  I have made Vegetarian Laksa for a friend not too long ago with bean curds or quorn, potatoes, french bean, beansprouts and thick rice noodles. Laksa paste like red curry paste or green curry paste can be bought from good Oriental supermarket. It is nothing better than making your own paste...

  I love this recipe! I make a few changes and subsitutions which others might like to try: I used Yeos Laksa paste - probably 3-4 teaspoons - find it a bit mild so also added crushed chilli flakes. I also used mangetout instead of bean sprouts and added a frozen vege mix with baby carrots / peas / broccoli and corn. Plus I use Tofu instead of and sometimes as well as prawns. Give my version a try you'll love it! Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!!!!!!!

  Delicious! I added some fresh lime juice at the end, and a chilli to the laksa paste and coconut milk (which you can now buy in Tescos ethnic aisle by the way :o)...and some crushed peanuts at the end! Was really lovely. Will be doing again!
