The product

Some time ago, I made Sarawak Laksa for the first time.

Ingredients needed are:
1. Sarawak Laksa paste
2. A can of evaporated milk or adequate coconut milk
3. Bean Sprouts
4. Eggs (to be scrambled, fried and then cut into pieces)
5. Rice Vermicelli
6. Chicken breast meat and bones
7. Prawns
8. Assam Keping (Sliced Tamarind? - not too sure of what is it called in English)
8. Salt

Steps to prepare the soup:
1. Prepare chicken stock. Boil water and put in chicken bones and meat. Set aside the cooked chicken and shred the meat. However, leave the bones in the soup.
2. Boil prawns with it's shells in the stock. Once prawns is cooked, put aside.
3. Pour Sarawak Laksa paste into the boiled chicken stock. Stir and let it boil for a while. Take out another pot and use a drainer (I don't know what is it called) to separate the herbs and spices from the soup.
4. Clear soup is then boiled and added with a few slices of assam keping and evaporated milk/coconut milk.
5. Lastly, add salt to taste.

Laksa:
1. Clean dried vermicelli and boil it in water till it's cooked.
2. Drain boiled water from the vermicelli and put the vermicelli into a bowl
3. Clean bean sprouts and boil it in water till it's cooked. Set aside the bean sprouts.
4. Garnish cooked vermicelli with sliced scrambled eggs, boiled bean sprouts, shredded chicken and prawns.
5. Pour laksa soup or gravy onto it and it's ready to be served.
