✅ Steps

1. Prepare seafood
1. Slice the fish balls in half.
2. Defrost the prawns completely.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
4. Blanch the fish balls and prawns for a few minutes until just lightly cooked.
5. Remove and set aside.

2. Prepare chicken
1. Using the same pot, blanch the chicken drumsticks briefly, then discard the water.
2. In a new pot, add fresh water.
3. Add chicken thigh cutlets, boil for about 20 minutes.
4. As the chicken cooks, remove any scum that rises to the surface to keep the broth clear.
5. Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it into a bowl of ice water, soak for 15 minutes.
6. Debone the chicken and shred the meat.
7. Remove the skin at this stage to reduce fat. Set the chicken aside. Keep 1500 ml of the chicken cooking water for the soup.

3. Make the laksa soup
1. Finely chop the lemongrass.
2. Combine it with minced garlic and ginger.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat.
4. Add olive oil, then add the aromatics. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
5. Lower the heat to low, add the laksa paste and stir well for 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Pour in the coconut milk and let it simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
7. Add the chicken broth powder, fish sauce, and chicken cooking water. Simmer gently, if any scum appears, remove it.

4. Assemble
Prepare noodles of your choice.
In a serving bowl, add:
* Noodles
* Shredded chicken
* Fish balls
* Prawns
* Bean sprouts
* Coriander

Pour hot laksa soup over the top and enjoy!

*Remove the scum from the broth thoroughly. This helps keep the broth clean and clear in flavour!

*After assembling the ingredients in the bowl, microwave the entire bowl before adding garnish. This keeps the bowl warm and makes it taste better.

*When laksa served, taste and adjust saltiness- Add more fish sauce if needed!

*If you use rice noodles or other noodles instead of tofu noodles, the calories and carbs will be higher than the macros shown (but the taste will be better, of course 😌).
