Green Curry Laksa

Creamy, sweet, spicy, tangy – this Green Curry Laksa is loaded with delicious flavors! This Singaporean and Malaysian-style soup is both dairy-free and gluten-free, too!

 

 Laksa, a very popular dish in South East Asia, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia and I am pretty sure in other parts of the world, is essentially a coconut curry soup with noodles, often with chicken or shrimp, bean curd puffs, fish sticks, and sometimes bean sprouts for extra crunch!

The flavor is fantastic and complex – a little sweet, tangy, savory, creamy, and definitely spicy-licious from all the wonderful spices added to it. It’s the kind of food that hubby and I love – multi-dimensional in taste and truly satisfying.

 

 I cannot remember exactly when I tasted this truly flavorful soup. It was definitely more than 10 years ago, as the last time I distinctly remember eating this was when my aunt in Australia brought us to a noodle house in Sydney just so we could taste it.

This was in January 2004, the night before we left Australia during our honeymoon there. We could have possibly had it first in Singapore, so very well-known for its fantastic Laksa soup when we had a brief stop there en route to Australia.

Either way, our taste of this exquisite soup was truly memorable. It’s a shame, though, that I never made this soup soon after and had to wait a decade to attempt it.

 

 I honestly thought that because of its complexity in taste it would be so difficult to make. It’s not.

All that’s needed is to make a curry paste and then add some coconut milk, and then your choice of meat, cooked noodles, and a few garnish, and that’s it.

You can even take a shortcut by buying pre-made Laksa paste or powder or using your favorite curry powder. However, I didn’t want to cheat and thought I’d try to make it from scratch.

 

After all, most of the ingredients are not impossible to find – they were all in our grocery, and all I needed was a good and reliable food processor, and voila – I have a homemade and truly delicious curry paste for Laksa.  

Anyway, I hope you try this flavorful coconut curry soup and enjoy it as much as we did.
