Chicken and Shrimp LaksaThis Curry Laksa is a beautiful, coconutbased spicy soup that's both warming and fresh making it a
perfect yearround meal.
Laksa dishes like this one here and commonly found in South East Asian cuisine, particularlyMalaysian. In my version, I have used ingredients that are easy to source in your local supermarket to
create a taste of Malaysia at home.
This is one of those recipes that you may look at the ingredients list and have a mini heart attack it'slong. Don't let that fool you. This dish is quick and easy to prepare, and if you commonly cook Asian
cuisine, you're likely to have most of the ingredients on hand.

9/1/2015 PicNic: Chicken and Shrimp Laksa
http://picnicnz.blogspot.co.nz/2015/03/chickenandshrimplaksa.html 2/5
I love Laksa especially for it's noodles. Who doesn't love a noodle soup? But what makes Laksa evenbetter than your average noodle soup? TWO kinds of noodles!!! This dish commonly uses both an
egg and rice noodle, which to me means extra deliciousness.
Serves 4
Curry Paste:
2 red chilis, chopped6 cloves garlic, crushed5 cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated3 large shallots, or an onion, diced1/2 tsp salt2 Tbsp chopped coriander2 tsp turmeric1 Tbsp fish sauce*2 Tbsp canola oil
Curry:
100 g egg noodles100 g vermicelli2 1/2 Cups chicken stock1 stalk lemon grass (I use 1 Tbsp of lemon grass paste)400 g chicken thighs, cut into cubes400 mL light coconut milk100 g shrimplime juice
Garnish:
bean sprouts, fresh coriander
1. Cook the noodles following the directions on the packet and set aside.
2. Make the paste by combining all the paste ingredients in a mortar and pestle (or food processor)and crushing into a pastelike consistency.
3. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the curry paste and fry for a couple of minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken stock, lemon grass,, chicken, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, and simmer forabout 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for a further 5 minutes.
5. Add a squeeze of lime juice and adjust the taste to suit your preference.
6. Divide the noodle among four bowls and ladle the laksa over the noodles. Garnish with bean

sprouts and coriander before serving.
*Traditional recipe would use about 1/2 tsp shrimp oil paste, I can't get this here so I use fish sauce asa substitute. Same with the lemongrass I can't get stalks easily, but paste is always right there readyto go.
