Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 4 cups prawn broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

- 1 cup bean sprouts

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the red curry paste to the pot and stir well, cooking for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.
- Pour in the prawn broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and erythritol (if using) to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Add the shirataki noodles and prawns to the broth, cooking for about 5 minutes or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- Serve the laksa hot, topped with bean sprouts, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro. Add lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced red chili peppers or a dash of sriracha to the broth.
- You can substitute the prawns with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, simmer the soup a bit longer to reduce it before adding the noodles and protein.
