• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 1 liter Chicken or prawn stock
• 300 g Cooked shredded chicken
• 200 g Prawns, peeled and deveined
• 100 g Laksa paste
• 150 g Bean sprouts
• 3 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, halved
• 30 g Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 2 pieces Lime, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Oil

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and sauté for about 2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken or prawn stock and bring to a simmer. Stir well to combine the laksa paste with the liquid.

Step 4

Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir and let it simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 5

Add the prawns to the soup and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 6

Gently stir in the shredded chicken to warm it through.

Step 7

To serve, divide the softened rice noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a good mix of broth, chicken, and prawns.

Step 8

Top each bowl with bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg halves, and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side and extra fish sauce if desired.
