Gammon Laksa Noodle Soup {Recipe Video}
Description
This Gammon Laksa Noodle Soup recipe begins by frying diced gammon until cooked through, then building the soup base by stir-frying laksa paste to release its spices and aromas. Coconut milk, chicken stock, and soy sauce are added to create a creamy and savory broth. Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and intensify, while the gammon pieces remain tender.
Vegetables like green beans and mangetout are added partway through cooking to retain slight crispness and freshness, while halved cherry tomatoes add bursts of sweetness and acidity. The soup is finished with bright garnishes of sliced spring onions, lime wedges, mild chili, and fresh coriander, which provide contrast and lift to the rich broth.
Though noodles are not included in the method, there is an option to add rice noodles for a heartier meal, making the soup suitable for lunch or dinner when a comforting and flavorful bowl is needed. The combination of aromatic laksa spices, creamy coconut, and savory gammon pieces make this a distinctive noodle soup offering.
