    MU sachet of Assam Laksa from the Chinese wholesaler turned out the be a powder, not a paste. I used the veg that came to hand: one onion, one carrot, one green pepper, and wok fried them first before proceeding with the rest of ingredients. Used fresh Basil for garnish. We have frozen the leftover soup base with the spare noodles, and will add more prawns or even chicken for another meal. I really can't thank you enough for such a spicy recipe!

    So sorry I did not like this it was very fresh tasting but bland. Would have preferred using a red curry paste.

    Made this tonight for dinner - superb! Used about 80g of noodles which I'm glad about, think it was about the right amount, not sure 50g would have been enough. Next time will follow the advice of some of the other contributors - will add a bit more veg - maybe baby sweetcorn and some waterchestnuts to give a bit more texture. The Laksa paste I used was mega spicy so warnings to others to maybe go easy with the paste the first time because I can imagine the paste spice strengths vary from brand to brand. But overall - lush dish, will definately be making it again!

    Couldn't find Laska paste so used red Thai curry paste and instead of rice noodles used egg noodles. Will make again as family loved it.

    Made this for my kids as they like to try and eat my husband's soup when we go to the local noodle bar. I found it bland before I served it, so I added a tsp of chilli flakes, a dash of lime and some salt. Perfect. They loved it.

    It's ok for a quick supper for the kids as they love it, but only after I had added chilli flakes, lime juice and soy sauce. I would also add more veg next time. Have had more flavoursome soups before so this only wins on speed.
