A modern take on the soupy, warming laksas we all know and love, laksa goreng traditionally fries off the noodles with a thick laksa gravy, resulting in a dryer but fully flavoursome take on laksa. We're keeping it classic with chicken, yellow curry paste and zingy lime.

Cooking Steps
a) Cut each chicken thigh into 2-3 pieces (depending on size). TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
b) Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.
a) Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.
b) Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with ½ tsp salt and bring to the boil.
c) Add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins.
d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the chicken and green beans to the pan.
c) Season with salt and pepper and fry until browned on each side and cooked through, 8-10 mins.
d) Turn every 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Coarsely grate the carrot.
c) Add the garlic and carrot to the chicken and fry, 2-3 mins.
d) Stir in the coconut milk, yellow Thai style paste, vegan fish sauce, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Simmer, 2-3 mins.
a) Meanwhile, cut the lime into wedges.
b) Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
c) Once the noodles are cooked, stir into the coconut sauce.
d) Add a good squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The coconut and yellow Thai paste sauce has a good depth of flavour, and the dish was a hit with families including younger children. Some felt the overall flavour could be a little stronger and suggested the fish sauce adds a noticeable aroma.
- Ease of prep: Not too much prep involved, and the steps are manageable for a weeknight cook.
- Suggestions: Consider using chicken breast instead of thigh if you prefer a leaner cut; trim the chicken pieces to an even size before cooking to help them cook through at the same rate.
- Portions: Several people noted the portions were very large, with two generous servings that neither person could finish.
