  • 1 lb chicken thigh

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1-2 red Thai chili
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, minced
  • ½ c laksa paste
  • 1 can coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 lime
  • ½ c fried shallots
  • 2 c bean sprouts
  • ½ c cilantro, chopped

Step by step

step 1

Prepare the chicken: preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and bake for 40 minutes.

step 2

Heat cooking oil in a large pot, and fry ginger, garlic, chili and lemongrass until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

step 3

Mix in the laksa paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Turn down the heat to medium and pour in coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring to a boil.

step 4

Add in the soy puffs and allow broth to simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Use this time to cook the noodles and shrimp and shred the chicken.

step 5

Season the broth with lime juice and fish sauce to taste. Serve laksa over cooked noodles and top off with shrimp, shredded chicken, bean sprouts, fried shallots, cilantro and lime. Enjoy!
