Chicken Laksa

Chicken Laksa

Difficulty : Super easy
Preparation time: 5m
Cooking time: 15m

Laksa is traditionally a coconut based soup with noodles. It's a great example of how fresh and clean Asian flavours are. We just love the lime/coriander/coconut/chilli combination in this soup, it's like a hug in a bowl! It's also really easy and quick to prepare, perfect to whip up midweek!

Use less chilli if you prefer less heat.
