Cooking Steps
1
- Trim the pak choi then halve lengthways.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Halve the lime. Thinly slice the chilli.
- Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the prawns and carrot.
- Fry until prawns are cooked and carrot is softened, 4-6 mins.
IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
3
- Add the Thai spice and korma paste and cook for 2-3 mins.
- Stir in the coconut milk, stock and 300ml water (double for 4p).
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 mins.
4
- While the laksa simmers, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, lay in the pak choi. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook on one side for 2 mins then turn over and cook for another 2 mins.
- Add the garlic to the pak choi and fry for 1 min. It should be slightly browned and charred.
- Add a splash of water, pop a lid (or some foil) on the pan and leave to steam for another 3 mins.
5
- When the laksa has 1 min of cooking time remaining, add the noodles.
- Stir carefully to separate the noodles and allow them to warm through.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
6
- Divide the prawn laksa between bowls.
- Top with garlic pak choi and sliced chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Cut any remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside.
