Vegetable Laksa Soup

Pop the (now empty) saucepan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
When hot, add the mushrooms and pepper. Stir and cook until softened, 2-3 mins.
Stir in the Thai style spice blend (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree, then fry until fragrant, 30 secs.

Stir in the coconut milk, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (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.

Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

When 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.
