Made from coconut milk, a special curry paste called laksa, shrimp and keto nu pasta noodles, this soup has all the flavours of Bali.
Ingredients
Laksa Soup:
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 recipe for Laksa Paste or 1/2 jar prepared Laksa Paste (we use this one from amazon for lazy laksa)
- 4 cups chicken stock or bone broth
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 bag jumbo frozen raw peeled organic shrimp
- 1 can coconut milk (full fat preferred)
- 2 packages angel hair nupasta
- 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
- Juice from 1 lime
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- Garnishes: lime wedges, cilantro, sambal chili paste, fried shallots, dried shrimp, jammy eggs.
Homemade Laksa Paste
- 5 dried red thai chilies
- 2 tablespoons dried shrimp (available at Asian Markets, this is not easy to find but it's a must if you're making homemade paste)
- 5 shallots, roughly chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons galanga or ginger, finely chopped
- 2 large lemongrass stocks – finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric (powdered is okay in a pinch)
- 6 candle nuts or cashews
- 1 tablespoon shrimp paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Make the Laksa paste (see instructions below), or use store bought if you're short on time. Heat 1 tbs coconut oil in a large heavy pot or dutch oven. Add the Laksa Paste and sauté, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Add broth and sugar then bring to a boil. Add raw shrimp to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Add lime juice and fish sauce and stir until well incorporated. Divide nu pasta noodles among 4 bowls and ladle soup over top. Top with fresh bean sprouts, chili sauce, and a sprinkle of crispy shallots or shrimp.
Laksa Paste:
Place all ingredients, except coconut oil in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add coconut oil and continue blending until it becomes a fine paste.
