Salmon, Squash & Prawn Laksa
  • Author: Anonymous

This vibrant and flavorful laksa is a perfect marriage of creamy coconut milk, fragrant spices, and a variety of textures. Tender chunks of butternut squash, succulent salmon, and plump prawns mingle in a comforting bowl of noodles and beansprouts. Top it off with fresh coriander and a squeeze of zesty lime for a delightful finish.

Ingredients

  • 185g jar laksa paste (or use 2-3 tbsp Thai red curry paste)
  • 1 small butternut squash (about 600g/1lb 5oz once peeled), cut into chunks
  • 400g can coconut milk
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 140g medium rice noodles , soaked in boiling water and drained
  • 300g pack beansprouts
  • 400g skinless salmon fillets , cut into large chunks
  • 200g tail-on prawns
  • bunch spring onions , sliced
  • small bunch coriander leaves, to serve
  • lime wedges, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the paste in a large saucepan and fry the squash for a few mins until well coated in the paste. Pour in the coconut milk and stock, and simmer for 10 mins. The squash should still have a bite to it. Add the drained noodles and beansprouts.
  • To freeze, turn off the heat immediately and leave to cool, then transfer to a suitable container for freezing. If you’re making this to eat now, add the salmon and prawns, and cook for 4-5 mins until the fish is cooked through.
  • If frozen, defrost overnight in the fridge, then return to a large saucepan. Add the salmon and prawns, cover, bring to the boil and simmer until the fish is cooked – it should only take 1-2 mins. Stir through the spring onions, then sprinkle with coriander and serve with some lime wedges.
