- In a large pot, heat sunflower oil over medium heat. Add chopped shallot, garlic, and lemongrass; sauté until fragrant.
- Add laksa paste and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in coconut milk, prawns, and konjac noodles. Cook until prawns are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat a bit of sunflower oil and sauté pak-choi, three-coloured pepper, yellow carrot, shiitake, and champignon de Paris until tender.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with sautéed vegetables, fresh coriander, Thai basil, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Adjust the amount of laksa paste to your spice preference. This recipe is mild but can be spiced up with red chili slices.
If you prefer a thicker soup, allow it to simmer longer to reduce slightly.
