There are a lot if ingredients, but it's more or less one of those throw everything together recipes. I love it because it contains no additives, preservatives or MSG often found in pre-made laksa pastes. Plus both the ingredients and flavours can be adjusted for spiciness and various allergies or dietary requirements. Laksa can be served with a variety of traditional toppings like eggs, prawns, homemade fish balls, hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs, shredded chicken and all sorts of greens. Feel free to add the noodles straight to the soup and cook for 3-5 minutes if you're not too fussed about the presentation.
