My best laksa takes an hour to make,and involves a semi-homemade soup broth.
This 20-minute version is 90 per cent as good. It’s almost irritatinglytoogood because now I’m wondering whether anyone will bother using my best laksa recipe when you can make something nearly as good in less than half the time.
I’ve deployed a few tricks to deliver top-shelf results so quickly. Cook off the laksa paste really well and reduce the coconut milk. Both these steps intensify the umami in the broth. And use prawns as the protein,which drives home the prawn flavour-base of the laksa paste.
