If you're looking for some Meatless Monday inspo, this is it! In our vegetarian take on the fragrant noodle soup, we've teamed a creamy coconut broth with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice to lift and balance the lovely complex flavours. This recipe is under 650kcal per serving. Unfortunately, this week's udon noodles were in short supply, so we've replaced them with flat noodles. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty, fragrant broth, though some found it too mild or unlike traditional laksa.
  • Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how quick and easy this meal was to throw together.
  • Suggestions: Several recommended adding protein like tofu or prawns, and boosting flavour with extra chilli or herbs.
  • Leftovers: Some found the noodles became mushy when stored, so it's best enjoyed fresh.
  • Texture: A few noted the spice blend created a slightly grainy texture in the broth.
