This is a very comforting dish, coconut milk makes it creamy and the spices added makes this dish \u00a0flavorful. I&#8217;d made a similar dish called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/khow-suey-noodle-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\">Khow Suey<\/a>, which is a Burmese speciality. I am sure that these two dishes are related as most of the ingredients used and the preparation are the same.\u00a0Laksa can be made with chicken, shrimp or fish, I opted for chicken. Made with simple ingredients, it&#8217;s easy to make and the coconut milk added made it even more delicious. Most importantly, it&#8217;s a comforting dish and you feel better after having a bowl of this soup. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16926\" alt=\"chicken-laksa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chicken-laksa.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chicken-laksa.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chicken-laksa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/chicken-laksa-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Chicken-laksa.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken Laksa with Vermicelli Noodles<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Asian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT20M\">20 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken breasts, diced- 2 breasts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamom- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, chopped- 1, large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-Garlic paste- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken stock- 1 cup (or use 1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup water)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green pepper, diced- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut Milk- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Lemon juice- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 1 handful (optional)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Other ingredients[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Vermicelli Noodles or Rice Noodles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a large non-stick pan or saucepan over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add oil, when it turns hot add whole cardamom, cloves and bay leaves; saute for a few seconds till aromatic.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add onion, sprinkle a few pinches of salt, saute till onions turns translucent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add ginger-garlic paste, saute for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and ground pepper, saute for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the chicken stock, combine well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add chicken and cook covered till chicken has half cooked.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Open the lid, add green pepper and coconut milk, cook covered till chicken has cooked well for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add garam masala, combine well and cook for a couple of minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Finally, stir in lemon juice and garnish with cilantro.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove from the heat and keep it covered.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook vermicelli or rice noodles in hot water till it turns tender.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">While serving, place some noodles on the bowl and add the chicken soup over the top of it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Serve warm and enjoy it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.2298<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laksa is a popular noodle soup in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
