How to Create Healthier Chicken Laksa
- Spray a large wok or deep non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 min or until lightly golden. Add the curry paste and stir for 1–2 min or until fragrant. Add the Chicken and ginger, and cook, stirring, for 2–3 min until lightly golden. Add the stock, coconut milk, lime leaves or zest and 250ml water and stir well. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to the boil.
- Add the carrot to the laksa, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 min or until the chicken is cooked through. Add the pak choi and sugar snap peas or mangetout, then cook for 1 min more.
- Meanwhile, put the vermicelli noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 3 min. Drain.
- Remove the laksa from the heat and add lime juice, to taste. Divide among 4 bowls with the noodles, then top with bean sprouts, if using
