Great recipe, never fails, I add some variations like tofu, fried eggplant and both thin and thick noodles but the basics are fantastic Laksa flavour and so easy in the slow cooker. I have been telling everyone about this recipe. Thanks!
I tried this last night for the first time. I liked the outcome but felt it was missing something..it was – I forgot the fish sauce and that is definitely needed. Will definitely try this again.
Delicious!
Only used 1 onion and didn’t use lime leaves or fish oil!
Cooked fam of 6 with leftovers for tomorrow lunch 🙂
Absolutely delicious! I added a bit more fish sauce, some chilli flakes & a cornflour slurry. I used frozen beans and it was perfect
