What is more rewarding than a bowl of hot steamy Sarawak laksa on a lazy weekend. I love spicy food, and definitely my weakness on any types of laksa, least talking about my hometown version of laska.
Whenever my parents travel back to Sibu, they will 'import' packets of Sarawak sambal laksa paste. Though it is a ready packed laksa paste, but nevertheless, the end product of the laksa is superbly good as those prepared from the laksa stalls.
Since its ready made paste, the process of Sarawak laksa preparation is whole lot more easy and convenient where chopping, pounding and grinding are not necessary. However you still need to attain some fresh ingredients as followed:
Ingredients:
1. Fresh sea water prawns (quantity according to one's preference)
2. 4 to 6 red onions
3. a few stalks of chilli padi
4. 6 free range chicken eggs, beaten and add a pinch of salt. Pan-fried in cooking oil and sliced into strips.
5. a handful of beansprouts
6. 2 large boneless chicken thigh or 1 kg of chicken breast
7. a packet of dried bee hoon
8. 2 small packets of coconut milk or a big packet of coconut milk
9. 1 packet of Sarawak sambal laksa paste (300g)
10. For garnishing: a few green lime, and some coriander chopped
