I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place all the ingredients except the oil in the TM bowl.
Blend 10 sec/speed 10.
Scrape down ingredients with spatula.
Add oil.
Blend 10 sec/speed 10 - or until the paste is relatively smooth. It's important to ensure that most of the lemongrass, onions and chilies are blended smoothly. If not, add another 10-20g oil and blend again. The balance of wetness will help smooth the paste.
Place the rice noodles in your ThermoServer. Add freshly boiled water into the ThermoServer with the noodles.
Let this sit for approximately 5 minutes or until the noodles are loose.
Then drain out the water using the TM Simmering Basket. Set aside.
1. With the laksa paste still in the TM bowl, add 40g oil.
2. Saute for 3-4 min / Varoma / speed 1. The oil should separate, and fragrant.
3. Add chicken stock paste and water inside TM bowl. Close TM lid.
4. Place chicken meat on the Varoma tray.
5. Cook 15 min / Varoma / speed 1.
6. Add soy sauce and coconut milk.
7. Cook 5 min / Varoma / speed 1.
Ensure chicken is cooked through, then prepare to serve.

Tip
If you'd like to keep some laksa paste, take half of the paste to freeze.
To control spiciness levels:
For a spicier laksa, use birds eye chilies.
For a less spicy laksa, add another 400ml tin of coconut milk or use 400ml of coconut cream instead.

Thanks for your feedback Nancy! x
Great Laksa paste. Very spicy though! Reduce the dried chillies if you don't want it too hot.
