Steps

Preparation

Prepare all ingredients: cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, peel and devein shrimp, and prepare noodles according to package instructions (usually by soaking in hot water or briefly boiling). Slice lime and chili, chop coriander.

Simmer Broth

In a large pot or wok, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, then stir in the fish sauce and palm sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chicken and Tofu

Add the diced chicken and tofu puffs to the soup. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce, sugar, or laksa paste if needed.

Shrimp and Serve

Add the shrimp to the soup and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook! Divide the prepared noodles among four bowls, then ladle the hot soup with chicken, shrimp, and tofu over them. Garnish generously with fresh bean sprouts, chopped coriander, and sliced chili. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Extra Tips

► The intensity of laksa paste can vary, so taste the soup as you cook and add more paste or chili flakes if needed to reach your desired level of spice.
