King Prawn Laksa Soup
with Mushrooms, Bell Pepper and Cashews
Fragrant and spicy, laksa is a noodle soup known for its rich coconut milk broth. This vibrant soup typically consists of noodles with toppings including prawns, fish and veg, making it a fresh and flavourful meal.
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.

Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.25 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).
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. Drain the prawns. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.
Once hot, add the prawns, mushrooms and sliced pepper to the pan. Stir and cook until the veg is starting to soften, 2-3 mins.
Stir in the Thai style spice blend 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.
Meanwhile, crush the cashews 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.
Stir in the soy sauce, some lime juice and lime zest. Taste and add more lime juice and salt if needed.
Share the king prawn laksa between your bowls and finish with a sprinkle of cashews over the top.
Enjoy!
Step 2 MOD: If you’ve chosen to add king prawns to your meal, drain them, then add them to the pan with the veg. Continue as instructed, the prawns will cook through while simmering. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They’re cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
