Water for the Sauce
Quarter the mushrooms. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm pieces. Zest, then halve the lime. Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Bash the lemongrass stick with a saucepan to release the flavours.
Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the mushrooms, pepper and lemongrass (you'll remove it later). Stir and cook until softened, 2-3 mins. Add the ginger puree and Thai style spice blend. Cook for 1 min. TIP: Add less spice if you don't like too much heat.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) along with the peanut butter. Simmer until the veggies are soft, 3-4 mins.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the peanuts.
When the veggies are soft, stir in the noodles. Make sure they are submerged in the laksa. Simmer until tender, about 4 mins. TIP: The noodles may soak up some of the coconutty liquid. If this is the case, just add a splash of water to get it back to a soupy consistency.
Remove and discard the lemongrass. Stir in the soy sauce and lime zest, then add lime juice and salt to taste. Share the laksa soup between your bowls and finish with a sprinkle of peanuts and spring onion. Enjoy!
STEP 5 MOD: If you've chosen to add King Prawns to your meal, add them to the pan when you add your noodles and cook for the same amount of time. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
