Chinese traders would settle in the communities of the Malay islands and soon their cultural food traditions started to influence the local Malay cuisine. The Chinese cooking styles were married with the local ingredients such as chillies, tamarind and coconut milk. Laksa was one of the many delicious dishes that resulted as a fusion of the two cuisines. However, over the centuries, many variants of the dish have been created, which speaks to how rich and complex Laksa's story is. Our rendition includes a spice blend and other ingredients, resulting in delicious depths of flavour that will take your tastebuds on a culinary adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: 275g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coconut Cream (48%), Water, Lemongrass, \u003cstrong\u003eCashew Nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e, Sugar, Turmeric Root (1.6%), Galangal Root, Sunflower Oil, Salt, Dry Spices, Red Chillies, Garlic, Rice Flour, Ginger, Soy Sauce (Water, \u003cstrong\u003eSoyabeans\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWheat\u003c\/strong\u003e, Salt), Tamarind, Makrut Lime Leaves, Onion Powder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy Advice:\u003c\/strong\u003e May Contain Celery; May Contain Milk; May Contain Mustard; May Contain Nuts; May Contain Peanuts; May Contain Sesame; May Contain Sulphur Dioxide\/Sulphites; May contain Milk, Mustard, Nuts, Sesame, Peanuts, Celery \u0026amp; Sulphites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLifestyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for Vegetarians\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage and Usage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cannot be Microwaved.

Cooking Instructions: Cut your chosen protein or vegetables into generous pieces. 1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add the whole chilli for extra heat and fry for 20 seconds. 2. Add the protein or vegetables and brown lightly (if using fish or seafood, hold back and add this along with the coconut sauce in step 3). Add the paste (small pouch). Simmer for 1-2 minutes. 3. Stir in the coconut sauce (large pouch), 100ml veg or chicken stock and the makrut lime leaves from spice pouch. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the fresh ingredients are cooked through. Serve over a bowl of freshly cooked noodles or rice. Finish with a squeeze of lime and garnish as you like. Serves 2-3 with rice or noodles. As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only. Please ensure food is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving. If you don't like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them with the coconut sauce in step 3 (before final simmer). Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailor to Taste\u003c\/strong\u003e Use these handy tips to customise your dish: - Try a seafood version and serve on a bed of noodles with the optional additions of tofu puffs, beansprouts and boiled, halved eggs and garnish with fresh Asian herbs. - For a delicious vegetarian version, use a mix of fresh vegetables - such as mangetout, pak choi, tenderstem broccoli, aubergine or julienned carrot - and tofu puffs, firm tofu, tempeh or seitan. - For a delicious new take on the dish, cook a chicken curry-style laksa by omitting the stock and serve with coconut rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Simple steps\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat spices Add fresh ingredients and paste (small pouch) Stir in coconut sauce (large pouch) and simmer?
