I tried making some curry laksa using this recipe:
Sambal being fried.
Laksa paste ingredients. I caused my Vitamix to overheat when blending and had to finish pulverizing in the food processor. Still a bit fibrous. This made a lot of paste. Seemed like a bit too much paste actually. I just used about a half cup’s worth with a pint of chicken broth for one serving.
Frying the paste. Hopefully will not get poisoned by raw candlenut. Then added broth, coconut milk, and tofu puffs.
Noodles, beansprouts, fish cake.
After putting everything together, with shrimp, egg, some rau ram leaves, and sambal. There’s some broth underneath.
It came out ok. The broth tasted pretty good but there were still bits of fibrous vegetables in the broth, probably from the lemongrass, don’t know how normal that is. Maybe I should have peeled away more layers. Could be the galangal as well as that was quite tough.
