Ingredients

Rice Vermicelli, scalded and drained

500 ml coconut milk

300g Medium Prawns

2 Fish Cakes, sliced

100g Bean Sprout, slightly blanched just before serving

10 pieces Tau Pok

100g Cockles (optional)

10 sprig Laksa Leaves aka Vietnamese Mint aka Daun Kesom

50g Dried Prawns, grind

150ml Oil

750ml Water

Salt and Rock Sugar to taste

Grind into paste:

1 whole Garlic

10 Shallots

1/2 tablespoon Turmeric aka Kunyit

1 tablespoon Galangal aka Lengkuas

4 Candlenuts aka Buah Keras

1 stalk Lemon Grass aks Serai

2 teaspoon Shrimp Paste aka Belachan

12 Dried Chillies, soaked to soften

Directions

Blanch prawns in 750ml of water till 90% cooked.

Remove shells and return them to the pot of stock.

Set prawns aside.

Add in Laksa Leaves and bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

Heat oil in wok.

Fry the paste for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Add in dried shrimp and continue frying the paste for another 5 minutes.

Pour the content to the pot of stock.

Bring to boil.

Gradually add in coconut milk.

Simmer till you see red oil surfacing.

Add salt and rock sugar to taste.

Add in the tau pok to cook for 2 minutes just before serving. This helps tau pok absorb Laksa gravy.

Put rice vermicelli in a bowl.

Top with tau pok, fish cakes, bean sprout and cockles.

Pour hot gravy over and serve immediately.

Note:

If you prefer your Laska to be spicy, add chilli paste to your bowl of Laksa.

Chop some Laksa Leaves for garnishing if you like.

For convenience, I used packed coconut. Fresh coconut milk extract will taste and smell better.
