Raining for quite sometime already, so the weather was cooling. So, decided to cook a hot and spicy Laksa. The ingredients was easy to find and easy to prepare. Invited my parent and brother to came over and have this laksa dinner together.
This basically what we need to cook Laksa. 250g Laksa paste. 200ml Coconut milk. 1 pack of Rice noodle. Chicken meat. Shrimps. Fried eggs. Bean sprouts. All ingredients easy to get at market or supermarket.
Soak the rice noodle in room tempreture water for 1 hours. After that, drain the water. Boil some water enough to cover the entire rice noodle and cook for like 2 - 3 minutes. Then, take out the rice noodle and set aside for cooling.
This shrimps have to be real fresh, otherwise you will spoiled the entire things. :P
Some people like to put bean sprouts some do not like. In this case, I put some of it.
Use a cooking bowl and cook some water until boiled. Put in the meat and cook until well done. Drain the water and set the meat aside. Slice it later on when it cool down.
Fried some eggs and slice it.
Boiled some water and put the shrimps into it. Take it out when the shrimps become orange.
Boil 2000 -2500ml water. When it boiled, Put the Laksa paste into it and stir well. Pour in the 200ml coconut milk and stir well. let the soup cooked for another 10 - 15 minutes.
While waiting the soup to be cooked, arrange the rice noodle and the other ingredients in to a bowl.
The soup will be ready by now. Close the stove and bring the big bowl of soup to the table. Then pour some soup into the bowl with the rice noodle and other ingredients in it. There you go, The Sarawak Laksa ready to be served. Yummy. Happy trying.
