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.

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.
