Recipe
Sometimes the coconut sauce separates, do not let this worry you!
Cooking Instructions: Cut your chosen protein or vegetables into generous pieces.
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add the whole chilli for extra heat and fry for 20 seconds.
2. Add the protein or vegetables and brown lightly (if using fish or seafood, hold back and add this along with the coconut sauce in step 3). Add the paste (small pouch).
Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in the coconut sauce (large pouch), 100ml veg or chicken stock and the makrut lime leaves from spice pouch. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the fresh ingredients are cooked through. Serve over a bowl of freshly cooked noodles or rice. Finish with a squeeze of lime and garnish as you like.
Serves 2-3 with rice or noodles.
As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only. Please ensure food is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving. If you don't like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them with the coconut sauce in step 3 (before final simmer). Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
Tailor to Taste
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Try a seafood version and serve on a bed of noodles with the optional additions of tofu puffs, beansprouts and boiled, halved eggs and garnish with fresh Asian herbs.
- For a delicious vegetarian version, use a mix of fresh vegetables - such as mangetout, pak choi, tenderstem broccoli, aubergine or julienned carrot - and tofu puffs, firm tofu, tempeh or seitan.
- For a delicious new take on the dish, cook a chicken curry-style laksa by omitting the stock and serve with coconut rice.
