I have been craving for laksa
like ages ago!
I gotta make one cause you can't get laksa
in any restaurant here in Montreal.
Who wants to make laksa?
I want!
I do not have any
ASAM KEPING
BELACAN
BUNGA KANTAN
So I invent my own recipe.
The following pictures are all you need :
 |
| You need three tins of these sardines, I use this brand because I like the hot peppers and it's cheap! |
 |
| 3 big spoons of tamarind to replace asam keping |
 |
| Half of this container |
 |
| 3 shallots |
 |
| 1 stalk of lemongrass, cut it into three parts, have to tumbuk this a bit |
 |
| Daun kesum is called Vietnamese mint |
 |
| Salted shrimp is used to replace belacan. You can get this at korean store, all you need is one big spoon of this. |
 |
| This is laksa noodle packaging |
0. Soak noodles in room temperature water.
1. You gotta blend shallots, salted shrimp and chilli paste with some water
2. Boil them in a container
3. Blend the sardines with some water too, but not too much if you want more saturated laksa soup.
4. Boil this together with the previous ingredients.
5. Add water to tamarind and pour them into the boiling soup.
6. Add the lemongrass and Vietnamese mint into the soup.
7. Add sugar and salt, if needed.
8. Let it boil.
While letting the soup boil, you have to boil another container of water. After the water is fully boiled, soak the noodles in it for 12 minutes.
Then, you're ready to serve laksa!
You may wanna have boiled eggs, cucumber and lime as your side dishes.
