Dinner is served in a dash with this fragrant, creamy laksa that’s big on flavour and low on effort. We’ve paired silky bean vermicelli noodles and tender chicken with fresh cucumber sticks to cool things down, plus a hit of coriander and chilli flakes for those who like a bit of a kick. It’s a hawker-style hero that’s much faster (and tastier) than waiting for delivery.

Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle.
• Place bean vermicelli noodles in a medium heatproof bowl.
• Add enough boiling water to cover noodles. Cover and set aside until tender,
4-6 minutes.
• Drain, rinse and return to bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and alow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into sticks.
• Slice lime into wedges.
• In a large deep frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips, tossing, in batches until browned and
cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• Add laksa paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in coconut milk, fish sauce & rice vinegar mix, the water and soy sauce.
Bring to the boil, then reduce to heat to medium and simmer, until slightly
thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, then add baby spinach leaves, stirring until just wilted,
1 minute.
• Divide vermicelli noodles between bowls.
• Pour over chicken and spinach laksa, then top with cucumber.
• Garnish with crispy shallots and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using).
• Tear over coriander (including stalk!). Serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: Most customers loved the fragrant, creamy laksa broth, though some found it mild and boosted it with extra laksa paste or added ginger for more depth.
- Ease of prep: The dish comes together quickly and is straightforward to cook, though a few found it took longer than the suggested time.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers found the broth too watery and recommend using less water; others suggested reducing the fish sauce or skipping it if you find the flavour too strong. Adding extra vegetables like zucchini, capsicum, or bok choy in place of spinach was a popular idea.
- Portions: A few customers felt the noodle portion was generous but would have liked slightly more noodles or protein to balance the bowl.
