[@MrHarizza]

Finally a recipe step-by-step from scratch and easy to make! As a Malaysian abroad, this helps SO MUCH! Just make sure to get the ingredients and good to go! You deserve more subscribers to your channel, keep it up!

[@13thbiosphere]

Yeah right simple and easier..... joking right? What I do is make up 5 litres of lux paste and that lasts me one year that is simple and easy takes me about two minutes

[@bebisibeb]

I know close to nothing about laksa, but from your ramen videos I could tell that you're the real deal since I've never seen a foreigner youtuber make ramen as authentic as you did. I will certaintly attempt this recipe as I know I wouldn't be disappointed.

[@annakopczowska3788]

Malaysian food is so delicious. One of the best! I love it

I can't believe I found out your video just now. You really have a very soothing way to explain your cooking. I'm from Malaysia, and i'm so proud you made this video. Thank you.

[@mandycleezehappyhour4238]

Fried fish cakes. THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS!!!!! Had laksa in grad school in Australia 20 yrs ago and have NEVER stopped thinking about it. It remains one of the MOST delicious, comfort-foods I have ever eaten in my life and I've never had it since I left (live in th US now...tot unheard of, here!) Any time I had extra cash, this is what I would eat (someone in my dorm cafeteria started making it so it was a go-to dinner with friends). Can't recall all the ingredients in the one I'd eat, BUT seeing those fish cakes was a total "aha!" moment! In my memory I was thinking about something squid-like but I don't think that's what it was. This video has solved a 20y.o. mystery! Gawd, I really want to try to make this. But I don't know where I could possibly find many of the ingredients--the "pink ginger", that shrimp paste, dried shrimp, tofu puffs, and those fish cakes. I live in an incredibly white, non-diverse community. I'm feeling so sad right now, desperately craving laksa... ☹

[@alvintiong3471]

To find the ingredients: Try and find any chinese or malaysian markets or even china towm or just markets that sell these types of ingredients, (GOOD LUCK :) )

[@Sinister_Monster]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a while. Looks scrumptious. Btw did anybody else stumble upon this video by chance at 2 am or is it just me?

[@mightbepossiblykaine4871]

wtf is this production quality 😍😍😍😍

[@KishorTwist]

Well done like the soup itself.

[@lunatheblueyedog]

I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! I made some amendments and substituted a few ingredients as well. I am a Malaysian living in Poland, and those who live abroad know how difficult it is to find rare ingredients such as belacan or fresh turmeric. I am going to share the changes I made to help anyone trying to make this dish. I used 2 tablespoons of pine nuts instead of candlenuts, ginger and turmeric powder, powdered belacan, 2 red onions, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce instead of dried shrimp, 1 tablespoon of molasses instead of white sugar, and regular Vietnamese rice noodles and vermicelli.

As a beginner, I find your videos very helpful because you explained the processes and reason why we should be doing them. It makes more sense. Thanks, Adam ❤️

[@angelichang1084]

omg, i binge watched your videos for 2 hours straight, and I want to watch more!! :) I really appreciate the high production quality, the clear but simple instructions, and most importantly, the thorough elaborations on why and how. You are really an incredible Chef and thank you SO MUCH for making these classic/ever lasting videos!!!

Love the step by step instructions and your eloquent delivery. Thanks Adrian!

[@kerstinbrechtal1628]

Thank you so much for this video! Many years ago I tasted laksa when travelling to Singapore and Malaysia - and fell in love with it. No such soup to find back home here in Germany though. But there are some asian grocery stores her, so I will definitely give it a try! 😀

Hello I've been making this laksa soup after learning from u tube.im from goa,India. I have all this ingredients in my home garden like galangal, kafir lime leaves, lemongrass, vaitnamese coriander, fresh turmeric, ginger, coconut milk is always made at home from scratch. I ❤ ur video thanks.

[@Koalamoose]

Just followed the recipe Adam. The sambal and mint takes it to another level. It tasted delicious and authentic. The stuff you buy in a jar doesn't come anywhere as nice as this. Thanks

[@doreenkohseowhiang6019]

I love your receipts. Is simple and easy to comprehend the chicken rice and Laksa dishes

[@WillDempseyMusic-id]

Did you try the recipes?

[@begaudvalentin8848]

With this beautiful recipe no need to travel overseas. We are already in Asia 😇 thank you so much. A bit hard to find all these ingredients but that’s definitely worth doing it

[@JLo-up5ib]

Adam, I love laksa and last night I cooked laksa from your recipe’s ingredients, I followed everything and it turned out so nice. Prawn oil is completely new thing to me and it gives extra flavour to the laksa. However, I browned the candlenuts, dried shrimp, ginger, cumin and balacan just to get more aroma out. Great recipe if you follow every step. Domo arigato.

[@catonion1201]

I just made this. Took me 5 hours for 15 servings. Woowee what a dish!

[@jintanmanis5000]

here in Malaysia, we have a different kind of Laksa for every state to Borneo, and the most unique one is Laksa Johor (using spaghetti)

[@kayec8009]

@not available fishes are gutted before dried.

[@kayec8009]

@not available most prawns and shrimps are cleaned. but if you worry too much, the curing process or the simple act of cooking them kills the bacteria in the intestine.

@not available I know that you don't mean to be condescending but the phrase how can someone consume like this is utterly disappointing.

[@AndreBoysen]

Adam, thanks so much for this recipe. It rivals the best Laksa I have had in Sydney in the CBD when I lived there. This was my first attempt at Laksa ever and it was amazing. I didn’t do it nearly as well you did, but it is probably the riskiest thing I have ever tried and it got rave reviews with family. A comment at the bottom to simplify is perhaps 1 noodle type instead of two. And get big serving bowls!

[@DizzyBusy]

I usually only use the rice noodles, just personal preference, not a fan of mixing yellow noodles and rice noodles, haha

[@MrQuagmire26]

One of my favourites from Malaysia. It would be cool if you could do a nice rendang or a nyonya style chicken curry;).

Just had curry laksa for lunch today cooked by elderly Penang ladies... It was delicious and had the homeschooled family recipy fell to it... It was less oily, less pungent but still flavorful... Definitely not the type you find in hawker stalls... And it brought back memories of the kind of prawn noodles my grandma used to make which was a variation of the kind we get from hawker stalls...

[@muddundee]

I started growing Laksa leaf a couple of years back, love the stuff!

[@85488899]

Made this today, squeezed lemon for freshness at the end and fried onions on top, was better than anything ever.

[@Yelobutterflyable]

The prawn paste cube, you are supposed to pan fry it til fragrant then only put to blend mixture. And when you cook the paste, cook til "pecah minyak" meaning oil break apart from the paste then only add in stock or water. Turn off the heat, add coconut milk/ cream

[@muhseinsofian2474]

Personally, i will blend the prawn shells together with the stock & strain it. =)

[@Ellie-lk7zf]

Adam! I made your Laksa recipe with some adjustments because I couldn't find all the ingredients but I gotta say it's so so delicious. Next time I make it I'm going to try to track down lemongrass, galangal and shrimp paste and track down some of the extra garnishes like Vietnamese mint, bean sprouts and tofu puffs. What I found was that a touch of homemade garam masala did wonders for adding a slight more complexity to the dish and udon noodles worked wonders in delivering that soup. It may not be traditional, but I tried to work with what I had available. I think the big adjustment that I really preferred was that I briefly pan fried the shrimp with no salt at all just for that browning and laid it gently on top instead of drowning it in the soup. When I serve it to others, I may even skewer them and leave them hanging on the bowl so that they don't mix with the soup because that gentle, sweetness of the shrimp by itself really added so much flavor to every bite. I really wanted to serve this dish at a dinner party I'd be hosting soon because it's quickly become one of my favorite and best dishes to cook. But in your opinion, what would you serve as a side dish? Anything on the side with maybe a cooler flavor profile to refresh and reset your taste buds? Or would you say a side dish is not necessary considering how complex and varied the flavors in the dish are already? Also, what do you think about fried julienne ginger as a garnish? I love your recipes and videos. Thank you!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Another terrific video from one of my favourite channels. And you're completely right in saying: Laksa IS one of everybody's favourites. So delicious. The best way to eat Laksa is outdoors under some kind of pretty shelter on a stinking hot day. Ideally you'd be wearing damp swimwear and have dripping wet hair after having just towel-dried yourself after swimming in the pool. Friends to talk to and laugh with would be sitting at the table with you. There's a day day in Heaven just like that, reserved for all of us. :) Thanks again Adam, you big sweetheart you. xo

[@chantellechuannok]

I feel so relaxed watching your videos

[@MosesMLam]

Finally had the time to give this recipe a try, though I've watched it a year ago. It turned out AMAZING! Hardest part was finding the fresh galangal and vietnamese mint (goes by the name Rau Ram). With BC Spot prawn season upon us now, it was easy to get fresh shells. Saved the shells after cooking the prawns, then used a pressure cooker to get some deep red stock after quickly frying with ginger. Definitely will be making this a number of times until I get it perfected. Thanks Adam for sharing the recipe!

[@farahin28]

I'm so glad you enjoy Malaysian Laksa. I'm from Malaysia =) We have lots of kind of Laksa according to region. The most popular one is Laksa Penang here, in which the stock is made of a type of fish we call 'Ikan Kembung'. The one you're making is Laksa Johor, in which it is curry-like.

[@hjrian]

It makes me really happy to see how genuinely enthusiastic you are about cooking. I love your clear explanations and you've been really helping me in my asian cooking at home.

Isabel Protomartir actually no prawn in the laksa curry cooking . Prawn stock is for prawn noodle soup .

[@mariacheng4226]

[@nmnmnnmm]

I like that you cooked the eggs more like ramen style or 7 minute eggs. Most Malaysian restaurants in Canada have not caught on to more delicious eggs yet. I wept while watching this video because I love Laksa so much and it reminds of some of my most favourite family sacramental moments of eating Laksa together. Although I think some iterations of Sarawak Laksa are the most superior Laksa, granted I am biased, I loved the video and your prawn oil gets 5 stars. Can't wait to try some of your well thought out ideas on the Laksa Lemak. All the best!
