Nyonya Laksa / Singapore Laksa 娘惹叻沙/新加坡叻沙

Making laksa at home can be very easy, just get the package paste and add liao (ingredients), then ta dah... you got a bowl of delicious piping hot laksa to enjoy! 

In fact, that is what we usually do, but not today. Today, we decided to take on the challenge to make it from scratch!

I am surprise that it is actually not difficult to make your own laksa. But I do admit that we made the spice paste in advance and stir fried it until fragrant in order to save some time on the actual cooking day. Even better if you could make more and store in freezer for future use! Laksa paste can come in handy in many dishes.

Aren't we all love freezer, it makes our life much easier!
