Important Notes

⚠️

This recipe is a quick 'cheat's' version and uses Thai red curry paste as a convenient base. The curry powder is the key ingredient that transforms it into a laksa.

⚠️

You can use any type of noodles you prefer, such as ramen, egg noodles, or rice vermicelli.

⚠️

The toppings like prawns, fish balls, and tofu puffs are customizable. Feel free to use what you have available.

⚠️

Always taste your broth at the end and adjust the seasoning. The balance of salty, sweet, and spicy is what makes laksa delicious.
