Chicken Laksa
A deliciously spicy, hot and sour laksa inspired by laksa's I've had in Thailand and Malaysia.
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 1 small onion
- A thumb of ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 limes
- 3 tbs Hogans laksa paste
- 1kg chopped chicken thighs
- 500ml of chicken stock
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- A couple of glugs of fish sauce
- 2 x 270ml tins Ayam coconut cream
- Enough vermicelli rice noodles for 4 people
- 4 free range eggs
- 1 red onion
- 1 capsicum
- 1 bunch bokchoy (or other asian greens)
- Sliced mushrooms
- Bean sprouts
- A bunch of coriander
- Crunchy fried shallots
Instructions
- Fry up with a glug of olive oil:
- 1 small chopped white onion
- Freshly grated ginger and garlic
- The zest of 1 lime
- Add 3tbs Hogans laksa paste (I like it hot) and fry until it is nice and smelly.
- Tip it all into the slow cooker
- Then add to slow cooker:
- 1kg chopped chicken thighs
- The 500ml of chicken stock
- The juice of a lime
- A stick of lemongrass
- A couple of glugs of fish sauce
- Cook on Auto for 6 hours (or high for 2 hrs and low for 4)
- 1/2 hour before dinner time, tip your 2 small tins of coconut cream (Ayam is the best) into the slow cooker, stir in and taste.
- Soften some vermicelli rice noodles in another big bowl with some boiling water and add into the bottom of each bowl. Boil 4 eggs.
- On top of the softened noodles add very finely sliced:
- Red onion
- Capsicum
- Bokchoy
- Mushrooms
- Sprouts
- Coriander
- Scoop the chicken out of the slow cooker and pop on top of the veggies.
- Pour your laksa soup into your bowls.
- Let sit for 5-ish mins to soften the veggies
- Sprinkle some crunchy fried shallots on top, with a halved boiled egg and a wedge of lime and enjoy!
- The key is in the layering and finely slicing the veggies 🙂

So easy to do and tasted delicious ? I used drumsticks, as that’s what i had in the freezer and broccoli instead of bokchoy. ?from the hubby.
