How to make Singapore noodles

Recreate this delicious Singapore Noodles recipe:

Fun fact: “Makan” is one of the most common greetings in Singapore which literally translates to “Have you eaten”.

It is reasonable to suggest that food plays an important role within the culture of  a Singaporean’s daily life. Flavours and tastes from the country are completely unique due to other asian influences from places such as China, Malaysia, Southern India and Indonesia. 

Within the street market food stalls, it is clear to see this asian fusion come to life through the variety of food available. On a typical market day you will find an array of aromas and flavours such as; fluffy rice, stir fried cockles, pork dumplings, sweet kaya toast, Chinese sausage and the most delicious dish of...Laksa noodles! 

What are Laksa Noodles?

If you are searching for a ‘Singapore noodles recipe’, it is likely that you will find two different recipes for the traditional noodle soup of Singapore. 

‘Laksa Lemak’ is the curry laksa variation where curry powders, ginger and shrimp paste are brought together in a seafood broth. The noodles are added and topped with giant prawns. 

On the other hand, ‘Asam Laksa’ produces a more spicy and tangy flavour. The most common fish used for this dish is usually chubb mackerel. Whilst the tanginess comes from the use of tamarind paste, bringing the thick noodles together. 

How to make Laksa Noodles:
