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.

[email protected]The laksa was good, but not great. The broth was a bit too spicy for my taste, and the noodles were a little overcooked. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of noodle.
