- 14 oz Coconut Milk One can, 14 oz.
- 3 cups Chicken Stock

- 2 tbsp Curry Powder Mild or Wild
- 1 small Onion Peeled, sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
In a bowl, pour boiling water over the rice noodles, leave for 5 minutes until soft, drain and refresh under cold water. (Read the package instructions)
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan and soften the onion. Stir in red curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the curry powder, ginger, and garlic and fry until fragrant.
Add the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and add prawns, dumplings. Simmer for 3 minutes or until heated through.
Divide the noodles between 2 bowls and pour over the laksa sauce. Top with spring onions and a few fresh coriander leaves. Serve with lime wedges, to squeeze over.
Hearty, filling, tasty and quick. Just the ticket for those rock and roll days.
The add-ins to this are limited only by your imagination. Snow peas and carrot matchsticks come to mind, or dump the noodles and serve this over rice. Add bias-cut chili peppers for that extra kick.
