Zoe's Chicken Laksa recipe

500g of boneless chicken (can be skinless too, if you prefer) breasts or thighs.
2-3 spring onions, chopped thinly and horizontally.
200ml coconut cream.
*a handful of freshly chopped coriander.
*a handful of freshly chopped parsley.
2 Tbsp finely chopped ginger.
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.
2 tsp garam masala (the mixture can be bought from your local supermarket).
Half an onion, chopped finely.
between 2-3 tsp of salt, add to taste.

*these can be the dried version if you can't get your hands on the fresh version, or it's too costly. but the fresh option definitely adds more flavour.



1. use a frying pan and just enough oil (I prefer olive) to cover the bottom of the pan. Brown the garlic, ginger, onion and the white bits of the spring onion, with the stove on medium. once the kitchen becomes fragrant, you know the ingredients have been browned to perfection.

2. add the chicken and cook thoroughly, or risk campylobacter/salmonella/general food poisoning. I've heard it's quite nasty.

3. add the coconut cream and let it simmer for a few minutes.

4. add the green bits of spring onion to garnish.

5. finally, serve with hot rice or noodles.

note: for those who like their Indian cuisine spicy, feel free to add chillis
