Lovely Laksa

Serves: 4 people
Ingredients:
100 grams Vermicelli rice noodles
3 tablespoons Laksa paste
650 grams chicken breast cooked and shredded
400 ml coconut milk
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine the laksa paste and 1 tablespoon of water and stir over medium heat to release the flavour of the laksa.
- Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and half a cup of water, gently bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, empty the vermicelli into a large bowl and cover with boiling water, leaving to sit for 5 minutes so the noodles soften. Use a fork to stir and separate.
- Strain the noodles and add the chicken laksa. Stir to combine.
