Ingredients

  • 2 packets Laksa Ramen (use 2 noodles, use 1-2 seasoning packets to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp (30g) vegetable oil
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (360-400g), cut into small pieces 
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) Thai red curry paste
  • ½ tsp (3g) turmeric powder
  • 1 inch knob galangal or ginger, very thinly sliced 
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed left whole
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 2 limes, one cut into wedges
  • Fish sauce, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and chicken. Season with salt and let sear on one side 2-3 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C). Once browned, begin to stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes. 
  2. Remove chicken and set aside.

  4. Add chicken stock, coconut milk and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add 1-2 packets of the seasoning from the ramen, to taste. Add the noodles and the chicken back to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. 
  5. Serve in bowls topped with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and fish sauce.
