ADAM'S LAKSA FOR ONE
My daughter got this recipe from a fellow army work friend. We have adapted this recipe to what ever is in the fridge at the time. It is a delicious flavour and the flavour changes all the time depending of what you feel like using at the time. Although this is for one, we just increase the ingredients to the number of people coming to dinner. This is an easy peasy Laksa recipe.

LAKSA
I spent a considerable number of years an Asian expatriate in the Western world, mostly as a student. Back when I was in boarding school in Australia, one of the things I missed the most were the steamy dishes from back home served in some spicy fragrant gravy. On Saturdays my friends and I would walk down to Chinatown and order a large bowl of laksa. However, the chef inside me pushed me to come up with my own version of the dish. Entertain your tastebuds with the following recipe!

Steps:
- Boil chicken and/or seafood to make stock. If you're using tofu, then deep-fry tofu. Drain.
- Make laksa paste. Spices are best ground on the stone mortar and pestle to form laksa paste. It is best to start working from the coriander seeds and add one ingredient at a time once the spices form a smooth paste. Add dashes of salt to make the tougher ingredients (e.g. chili, lemongrass, garlic) easier to grind. If you don't have stone, you can also use the food processor. If possible, avoid adding water to the laksa paste.
- Heat enough oil in a saucepan to cover laksa paste. Stir-fry laksa paste, basil leaves, and knotted lemongrass till fragrant then add chicken/seafood/tofu.
- Add stock and slowly bring to boil over low heat.
- Add coconut milk, stir, and simmer.
- Boil noodles and drain. Add sesame oil and set aside.
- Serve immediately with noodles and garnish.
Tips:
- Prep Ingredients: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients, including the laksa paste. This ensures smooth and efficient cooking.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make a significant difference in the taste of the dish. Choose fresh shrimp, firm tofu, and aromatic herbs.
- Cook Noodles Properly: Follow package instructions to cook the noodles. Undercooked noodles can be chewy, while overcooked ones can become mushy.
- Adjust Spice Level: The amount of laksa paste can be adjusted to suit your spice tolerance. Start with a moderate amount and add more if desired.
- Garnish Generously: Herbs like cilantro, basil, and mint add a burst of freshness and flavor. Don't skip the toppings!
