Recipe #327: Laksa

I don't know what's been up with me recently but I've been eating more noodles ever since a Pho Hoa opened 5 minutes away from school. I deem that a curse, CARBS CARBS CARBS au contraire it keeps me full the whole day.

Serves 1
Ingredients: 
100g combination of chicken strips and small fish balls (pre cook with noodles)
80g noodles (dry weight, but cook noodles according to package directions on a separate pot before starting)
1/2 small onion
1 tsp greated ginger, corriander, fish sauce and seasame oil
2 tsps lemongrass and red curry paste
1 T sweet chili sauce and peanut oil
1/2 C coconut milk
2 C chicken stock and assorted vegetables (a mix of bok choy, sping onions, bean sprouts and mushrooms)
2 large prawns

Procedure:
Heat a wok until it is hot.
Add the combination of peanut oi and sesame oil.
Sweat your onions.
Add the ginger, garlic, curry paste, then stir until thoroughly mixed.

Next, open widows in the house and grab a tissue to wipe your teary eyes because the aromatic smell is so strong it made me cry BUT smells delicious.
Add chicken and stir for 2 minutes, coating well with the paste.
Add chili sauce, fish sauce and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the hot stock, stir and let boil.
Add the cooked noodles and fish balls.
Then add the lemongrass and coriander; simmer for 2 minutes.

Boil concoction and drop in the prawns. Boil again.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately in a huge bowl.
