Laksa Recipe – Singaporean Curry Noodle Soup (Laksa Lemak) | Asian Recipes

2k Views 20 Comments



After a trip to Singapore a couple of years ago, I fell in love with their Laksa! The coconut curry broth is complex, fragrant, and just the right amount of richness. Seafood stock is the base of the broth, and the flavour the comes through is every seafood lover’s dream. You might be tempted to skip the clams but trust me…the clams make a huge difference in the flavour of the broth.

There are many types of laksa across Malaysia and Singapore, but this version enriched with coconut milk is the one common in Singapore and is also known as laksa lemak, peranakan laksa, or nyonya laksa. What’s your favourite kind of laksa and what is it like?

COOKING TIPS: It’s a bit of work to get all the stuff together, as is usually the case for noodle soups, but you can make many components in advance and spread out the work. You can freeze the paste, so not a bad idea to make some extra. The broth can be made days in advance, and even the noodles can be cooked in advance. If you’re going to make the broth ahead of time, make sure you cook off your clams and shrimp as well since raw seafood doesn’t last long, but cooked seafood can last up to a week in the fridge.

  9. Your video here drove me CRAZY!!! I was so hungry watching this. I've travelled in eastern & western Malaysia, and had the regionalised Laksa from Penang all the way over to Sarawak and Sabah. I haven't yet been to Singapore. I would love to make this recipe but I do find the prep a bit daunting. It's really nice to see your prep. I live in the UK, & Malaysian & Singaporean food can be found here, thank goodness. OK, I'll summon my courage & try.

  10. I am from india and have fallen in love with laksa…Thanks to KOka noodles….the ingredients you used are not available here…so I have to stick with ready made koka noodles….but your video takes laksa to new heights…. you might not believe me but when you were garnishing the final bowl, I got my mouth watered automatically….. wonderful video…..Thanks pai….I hope this lockdown ends soon and I would visit Malaysia or Singapore just to explore laksa…
