  • 230 gram laksa paste (jar)

  • 200 grams rice noodles (stick noodles)

  • 1 bunch choy sum (trimmed and sliced)
  • 80 grams bean sprouts (1 cup))
  • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced (large, optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat and add the laksa paste and ginger paste and cook, stirring for 1 minutes or until aromatic and add the stock and bring to a simmer and then add the chicken and pumpkin and reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the pumpkin is tender.

  • Step 2: Meanwhile, place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes or until noodles soften and then drain well.

  • Step 3: Add the coconut milk and choy sum to the stock mixture and stir until the choy sum wilts and the mixture is heated through.

  • Step 4: Divide the noodles evenly among serving bowls and spoon over the laksa and sprinkle with bean sprouts and chilli, if using.

  • Step 5: TIP - For a fast twist, swap the thigh fillets for shredded roast chicken - just add it to the bowls with the noodles.
