Notes

Cooking tips for how to make laksa?

Remove shrimp heads and use to make broth by simmering for 15 minutes.
Drain the shrimp heads. Then, add Thai red curry paste, sha cha sauce, coconut milk and mix them well. Wait until it’s boiling and add deep fried tofu, shrimp, fish balls until they are cooked.
I like to cut deep fried tofu into half because it absorbs the soup better when cooking it. Also, it tastes better.
Remember to add Thai red curry paste to your spiciness. You can add ½ tablespoon at a time.

When the broth is ready, pour the curry laksa soup over the rice noodles with bean sprouts, cilantro, shrimp, deep fried tofu and fish ball.
