10 Minute Vegetable Laksa

We're Hungry Cookbook by Ciara Attwell

A really quick and easy vegetable laksa recipe, the perfect healthy and delicious lunch for busy parents!

So now that half term is over I’m determined to get back on the healthy eating wagon.

The past week has been filled with far too many sweets and chocolate… and of course wine!

But this week I determined to eat much better and get back out running again.

On the menu for lunch today is this delicious but super easy Vegetable Laksa. It literally takes just 10 minutes to prep and cook, perfect for busy parents to whip up mid-week.

As well as being very healthy, this recipe is super comforting and filling and definitely doesn’t feel like you a depriving yourself.

For the base of the soup I used a Laksa Paste. I got mine in Sainsburys but you should be able to find it in most large supermarkets or asian stores.

To make the vegetables really quick to cook I sliced them into thin strips with a julienne peeler. You could also use a spiralizer or even a normal vegetable peeler.

I used vermicelli rice noodles as they cook in the broth in just a few minutes but those packets of pre-cooked noodles would work well too.

I’ve kept this recipe vegetarian but if you could easily add some cooked chicken or cooked prawns to the dish as well.

    You can do so much variation with this Recipe, this got me started on making laksa’s.
    The first time I was looking for laksa paste in the supermarket, there was another shopper that told me I can use Red Curry Paste if there was no laksa paste. Red Curry paste works well.

    Just a note, shop bought Laksa paste seems to always include fish sauce & some (Waitrose) even include chicken stock so it is not vegetarian if you are vegetarian or vegan you’ll need to make the paste.

      You can use red curry paste which is easier to find and a spoon of curry powder or more to taste. I have cooked both versions and could hardly notice the difference.
