1. Put the noodles in a bowl, pour over boiling water and leave to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Heat a pan, add the laksa paste and a splash of coconut milk. Fry for 3-4 minutes, add the coconut milk and stock, stir, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the prawns and heat through. Stir in the beansprouts. Put the noodles in two bowls, ladle soup over, and top with cucumber and coriander.

  Sorry about that, that would be laksa paste, it's fixed now in the ingredients list. Thanks for letting us know, Andrea

  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...
