1/2 cup of Rice Noddles (boiled)

Instructions:
Make the laksa paste by adding all the ingredients mentioned in a food processor or grinder to make a smooth paste. The paste can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.
In a skillet or pot, heat the oil. Add the Laksa paste and sautee it for a minute or two to get the flavour infused in the oil.
Add prawns and cook it for five minutes to ensure the raw smell is gone.
Then add the vegetables of your choice. I have used carrots and boy choy. You can add bell peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. Don't over-fry the vegetables.
Pour in the coconut milk and let it simmer. Once it boils, add salt and lime juice as per taste.
Serve the laksa soup in a serving bowl. Add the rice noodles and garnish with spring onions and lime wedges. Sprinkle some roasted peanuts to add crunchiness to the texture.
