Singaporean Laksa Recipe

I called it Laksa Lemak. My children love it and I have to cook and eat Laksa at least once a month.

We don't have the luxury like in Singapore where we can just go down to the coffee shop and find variety of noodle to eat. Each time the kids and I are craving for something, I would go to the Asian Market nearby and buy all the ingredients and start cooking myself.

I had this one of my many cooking posted on my blog as Veldiner would like to have the recipe for her someday if she have to cook them by herself.
The blended paste into a pan with little oil.








 Ready to serve.



Recipe

Ingredient A
2 slice of white fish fillet. (Either steam it OR I did a faster way rub them with salt and into the microwave between 5 to 8 mins)
5 Shallot or 1 big white onion
4 garlic
1 thumb size of ginger
1 fresh red chili (Cannot put more than 1 as my children do not eat too spicy)
4 full tablespoon of Babas fish curry powder. ( I only love babas curry powder)

Ingredient B

Fish Ball
Fried Beancurd
Prawns (Boiled till it turn red and put aside on a plate)
Cockles (Optional)
Noodle (depending what type of noodle but in Asian store you can also find white Laksa noddle otherwise spaghetti noodle is great enough)
Bean sprout ( boiled hot water and once the water is boiled put the sprout for less than a mis and put them aside)
Cucumber (Slice thinly)
Vietnamese Mint (Chopped)
Coconut milk


Once the fish is well done, put all the ingredients A into a blender and blend well till becoming a paste.

Heat a pan with little oil and add in the blended paste for few mins.

Add in one can of coconut milk. (Usually I also add in the water from the boiling of prawns)

Next throw in fish ball and fried Bean curd.

Let the fish ball cooked and add in Salt to taste.

Serving

Place noodle in a bowl
Add in a handful of bean sprout
A handful of thinly slice cucumber
Cooked Prawns
Cooked Cockles(Optional)

Pour in Gravy with fish ball and Fried Bean curd.

Sprinkle Vietnamese Mint.

I love the topping of a big spoonful of sambal for my laksa. (Optional)

Done and enjoy.
