Cooking Steps

Cook the rice noodles
1
  • Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water.
  • Cook rice noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-6 minutes.
  • Drain, rinse and drizzle with olive oil.
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop Asian greens. Trim and roughly chop green beans. Slice lime into wedges. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • Cut Malaysian tofu and chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, stock concentrate, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper.

Cook the tofu & chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook tofu, tossing, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. • Wipe out frying pan and return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

4

• While chicken is cooking, return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans, tossing, until just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add gingerlemongrass paste and satay seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

5

• Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the water, soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then add cooked rice noodles, chicken and a squeeze of lime juice, stirring until well combined. Season to taste.

6

• Divide Malaysian chicken laksa noodle soup between bowls. • Top with tofu, crispy shallots and long chilli. Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the delicious, fresh flavours, though some found it milder than restaurant laksas. A few added extra spices for more punch.
  • Ease of prep: While tasty, some noted it involved quite a few steps. Consider streamlining the process for quicker prep.
  • Suggestions: Several preferred thicker noodles. Some added extra veggies for more bulk and nutrition.
  • Portions: A few mentioned insufficient broth; consider increasing the liquid-to-noodle ratio for a soupier consistency.
