Fragrant and spicy, laksa is a noodle soup known for its rich coconut milk broth. This vibrant soup typically consists of noodles with toppings - in this one, we're heroing the veg.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Water for the Soup
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the noodles.
Meanwhile, quarter the mushrooms. Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm pieces. Zest and halve the lime (see ingredients for amount).
Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
Once boiling, add the noodles to the water and cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.
Pop the (now empty) saucepan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the mushrooms and sliced pepper. Stir-fry until the veg is starting to soften, 2-3 mins.
Stir in the Thai style spice blend (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree. Fry until fragrant, 30 secs.
Once the spices are fragrant, stir in the coconut milk, veg stock paste and water for the soup (see pantry for amount).
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Simmer gently until the veg has softened, 3-4 mins.
While your laksa simmers, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the gyozas and fry until golden on the bottom, 2-3 mins. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add 1 tbsp water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid or some foil.
Cook until the gyozas are piping hot, 3-4 mins. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, once the veg has softened, stir the cooked noodles into the laksa and heat through until piping hot, 1 min.
Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Stir in the soy sauce, some lime juice and the lime zest. Taste and add more lime juice and salt if needed.
Share the laksa between your bowls.
Top with the veggie gyozas and finish with a sprinkle of peanuts over the top.
Enjoy!
