Method for Laksa Soup with Shrimp Balls

The recipe on your jar of laksa paste calls for water but we prefer making a quick stock instead. Add a pork bone to a pot of water, bring to a boil then quickly drain the water, rinse your bone, fill up the pot with water again. Add a piece of ginger. Bring to a boil then keep on a high simmer for 30 minutes or so.

As your stock is simmering, place uncooked shrimp in a mortar and pestle, pound together with a sliced spring onion and a small piece of fresh ginger.  As it forms into a paste, add 1 tablespoon of rice flour (or a bit more to suit) and continue to pound until a smooth paste.

Using a spoon, drop balls of shrimp paste into a pot with oil over medium heat.  Cook for just a minute or two and turn regularly so the shrimp balls lightly brown. Remove from oil and set aside. This recipe is enough to make about 10 shrimp balls.

In a new cooking pot, heat 2 cups of pork stock (or water if preferred) with one jar of Laksa Paste, and 1 cup of coconut cream.  We used slightly less than the full jar of laksa paste, with good results.  Bring to a boil.

In a serving bowl, place cooked rice vermicelli noodles, shrimp balls, bean sprouts and greens of your choice. You'll get two fairly large bowls.

Optional: We boiled a whole shrimp and placed on top, and added a bit of sliced beef we boiled also. See photos.

Enjoy!
