Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, add cooked shrimp or shredded chicken to the soup. Adjust the amount of laksa paste to your preferred spice level. A sprinkle of crispy fried shallots also makes a great garnish.

Easy Substitutions

If you can't find rice vermicelli, use thin egg noodles or even spaghetti. Vegetable broth can be used instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian option. Tofu puffs are a great addition for vegetarians.

Storage & Reheating
