MY NEW LAKSA RECIPE

السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you

How are you darlings? Did you still remember, I've told you that I've tried new recipe for my laksa on last Merdeka Day (Independent Day)? So today I would like to share with you what's the different between 'Laksa Utara' and my laksa.

Ingredients

Laksa Soup / Broth

1. 1 1/2kg mackerel fish
2. 1 1/2 cups dried chillies (depend on you)*
3. 7-8 shallots*
4. 3 garlic cloves*
5. 1 thumb size belacan (shrimp paste)*
6. 1 tsp tamarind paste (I used Adabi brand)
7. 4-5 pcs dried garcinia atroviridis (asam keping/gelugor- medium size - for the soup)
8. 5 pcs dried garcinia atroviridis (asam keping/gelugor - to boil with mackerel)
9. Water (to boil the mackerel)
10. 3 - 3.5 liter water (for laksa soup/broth)
11. 6 cm galangal root*
12. 5 cm ginger*
13. 4 cm tumeric root*
14. 1 tumeric leaf
15. 1 - 1/2 cups vegetable oil
16. 1 bunch of Vietnamese Mint (Daun Kesom - ambil daun aje tau)
17. 3-4 stalks Torch Ginger / Etlingera Elatior - halved (Bunga Kantan)
18. 1 stalk lemongrass (crushed)
19. Salt (depend on you)

Garnish

1. Cucumber (finely sliced)
2. Onion (finely sliced)
3. Pineapple (thinly sliced)
4. Mint leaves
5. Torch ginger (finely sliced)
6. Bird's eye chillies (finely sliced)
7. Red chillies (finely sliced)
8. Hard boiled egg (halved)
9. Loose leaf lettuce (sheredded)
10. Egg pancake (thinly sliced)

Rice Noodle / Laksa 

1. I use the ready made laksa instead of the dried one. (Senang idop dek non oi)


Method

1. Boil the mackerel with asam keping/gelugor till tender. Let it cool and separate the fish bone and the fillet. Pour the fish fillet into the food processor and blend it well.

2. In a big pot, heat the vegetable oil and pour in the grinded * ingredients. Cook for 10 minutes and pour in a cup of water. Cook for another 20 minutes.

3. Once the grinded ingredients fully cooked and become so aromatic, pour in the blended fish and also add in the asam keping. Cook for 10 minutes and add in water, vietnamese mint, torch ginger, tumeric leaf and lemongrass. Boiled the broth for 45 to 60 minutes or till the broth lil' bit thicken and add in the salt.

4. Place the rice noodle / laksa in a bowl, pour in the broth and garnish with cucumber, onion, lettuce leave, pineapple, torch ginger, mint leave, hard boiled egg, egg pancake, bird's eye chillies and red chillies.

Note :

1. You can have your laksa with 'otak udang' as well.

The taste sooooo good for my taste buds. Tapi I tak tau lah kalau orang lain kan? Aduhai.. bertakung air liur dalam mulut ni.

 

Kalau tak silap, kat entry laksa yang sebelum ni I ada update macam mana nak buat egg pancake tu. Ada yang suka jadikan sebagai fritter (cucur), katanya lebih rangup. Mine, I did it with my own ways. :)

Amacam? Tergoda tak tengok my laksa soup/broth ni? Hehehehe

You've to try it and please let me know the result and YAY or NAY.. :)


Love,
Honey
