Prawn Curry Laksa

One of the most enticing Prawn Curry Laksa, sure to trigger your appetite. Also known as curry mee, it’s purely prawn-based with room for your own twist (VEGETARIAN CURRY MEE). 

 

The flavor comes from a simple prawn stock: lightly fry prawn heads, add water, simmer, and strain. The rempah paste or homemade laksa paste combines dried red chillies, fish powder, and belacan (shrimp paste) to lift the taste.

Extra heat comes from green and red chillies as garnish. The creamy prawn curry, with succulent prawns and mee hoon/thin rice noodles, is served with lime wedges for a touch of sourness and spring onion for aroma (SINGAPORE LAKSA). 

 

This Prawn Curry Laksa will fill your kitchen with fragrance and leave you craving for more.
