Ingredients

Laksa

  • 300g chicken thighs
  • 1-2 Tbsp Singapore laksa paste
  • ½ red onion
  • ½ capsicum
  • 1 baby bok choy
  • ½ can coconut milk
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp fish sauce

Noodles

  • 100g vermicelli noodles

To Serve

  • 1-2 spring onions
  • 100g mung bean sprouts
  • Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)

Steps

  1. Prep chicken and veggies Bring a full kettle to the boil. Pat chicken dry and dice 2cm. Mix with laksa paste and ½ tsp salt in a medium bowl. Thinly slice onion; slice capsicum 1cm; thinly slice bok choy.
  2. Cook laksa Heat a drizzle of oil in a large wok or fry-pan on medium-high heat. Stir-fry onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add chicken to pan and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until chicken has browned. Add coconut milk and stock and reduce heat to medium. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken and chicken is cooked through.
  3. Cook noodles Add noodles to a large, heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands, leave for 5 minutes then drain. Return to bowl with a drizzle of oil and cut the noodles in a few places to make them easier to eat.
  4. To finish Once sauce has thickened slightly, add capsicum, bok choy, soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes, until bok choy begins to wilt. Thinly slice spring onions.
  5. Serve vermicelli topped with chicken laksa. Scatter over spring onions, mung bean sprouts and chilli flakes.
