Laksa weather is officially here. If you're craving this coconutty, Southeast Asian-style soup but could do without all the carby noodles, this version is for you. Konjac noodles have fewer carbs than udon or rice noodles, but deliver the same slurp-factor, and soak up the fragrant soup beautifully.

Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half moons. Cut zucchini into small chunks. Zest lemon to get a pinch and cut into wedges. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and zucchini, tossing, until almost tender, 3 minutes. Add garlic and Southeast Asian spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the water, coconut milk, the soy sauce, brown sugar and chicken-style stock powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Stir through konjac noodles until warmed through, 30 seconds.
Return chicken to pan, then add baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Add lemon zest and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide chicken and konjac noodle laksa between bowls. Tear over coriander. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts and chilli flakes (if using). Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
