Instructions
Vegan Laksa Curry Paste (skip if using store-bought paste)
- Soak the dried chilies in warm water while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Finely chop the galangal, ginger, garlic, shallots, and lemongrass. We like to chop these ingredients into small pieces so it makes the blending process easier.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender jug, add the soaked red chilies, and 1 tablespoon of fresh water, and blend until you have a smooth paste.
Vegan Laksa Curry Soup
- Cut into bite-size your fresh vegetables, and briefly stir fry using some vegetable oil. Reserve for later.
- Add some vegetable oil to a wok or pan and heat to medium heat. Add the Vegan Laksa curry paste, and cook for a couple of minutes. You want your curry paste to be well cooked so the flavors are released.
- Slowly, pour your coconut cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. You should see the oils separating from the cream.
- Add the vegetable stock, and combine well. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate the stir-fried veggies, tofu, and optionally, the greens of the lemon grass, to add more flavor.
- Let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, or a dash of soy sauce.
- Cook the noodles following the package instructions, rinse them with cold water, and place them in a serving bowl. Pour the Laksa soup on top, add toppings of your choice, and serve.
Notes
- If you choose to use red curry paste, we recommend adding some curry powder.
