Lazy Laksa

This hearty bowl of goodness is so simple to make and is an absolute crowd pleaser! Definitely, a meal to make on those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. It’s all about the balance of salty sour and umami, with a pungent hit of fresh mint to get your taste buds going. The lazy hack here is to use a really good, preservative-free store bought laksa paste. We used a yellow curry paste by MAE PLOY.
