Curry Laksa

Ingredients
4 chicken thighs, sliced thin
12 raw prawns
3 tbsp peanut oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
thumbsized piece of ginger, finely chopped
pinkysized piece of turmeric, finely chopped
1 stick of lemongrass, finely chopped
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 bird’s eye chillies, finely chopped
1/2 jar of Por Kwan laksa paste (about 100g or 3.5 oz)
1 or 2 cans of coconut milk (400ml or 13.5 fl oz per can)
1 litre (about 4 cups) chicken stock
fish sauce to taste
1 tbsp palm sugar
noodles of your choice (I like round rice sticks which you soak in boiling water for 45 minutes before use)
2 limes, cut into wedges
mung bean sprouts, for garnish
1 packet soy puffs
fresh coriander, for garnish
crispy shallots, for garnish

Method
1. Begin by peeling the prawns and keeping the shells for the stock.
2. In a large heavybased pot, add the oil and place over high heat. Once up to temperature, add the prawn shells and fry for 45 minutes before adding the chicken stock. Simmer for 3040 minutes before straining and discarding the prawn shells.
3. While the stock is simmering, make the paste. In a mortar and pestle, combine the shallots, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, turmeric, and chillies, and grind into a smooth paste.
4. Place the stock pot back on the heat with some more oil and add the paste you just made. Sauté it, stirring constantly. Next, add the laksa paste and cook for another 7 minutes, stirring the whole time.
5. Add your prawn and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Then add your palm sugar and coconut milk, being careful not to let the soup boil rapidly after adding the coconut milk.
6. Now add the chicken and gently poach; after 10 minutes, add the prawns and 1 minute later, the tofu puffs.
7. Check for seasoning and add fish sauce and lime juice to taste.
8. Pour the curry laksa over the noodles, ensuring you get chicken, tofu, and prawns in each bowl.
9. Garnish with bean sprouts, fresh coriander, crispy shallots, and a lime wedge.
