Recipe: Easy Vegan Laksa
This vegan laksa features a vibrant broth made by blending spring onions, garlic, chili, ginger, and turmeric into a fragrant paste which is cooked then combined with vegetable stock and creamy coconut milk. Fresh vegetables like bean sprouts, baby corn, and mangetout add crispness, and soft rice noodles round out the dish. The bright finishing touches of lime and cilantro provide fresh contrast to the rich, slightly spicy soup, making it a balanced and nourishing meal option.
