Laksa is a fragrant, spicy noodle soup packed with flavour. Traditional laksa broth is made with laksa paste, shrimp paste, coconut milk, and spices. If you don’t have laksa paste, a great shortcut is using Thai red curry paste for a quick and easy alternative. We love this slow cooked with beef shin slices on the bone but gravy beef is equally as delicious.
