Description

Asam Laksa is a spicy, rich fish soup, a signature dish of Asian cuisine. The laksa soup recipe I'm offering differs from the classic version, as the main ingredient, besides noodles, is not fish but shrimp. This gives the dish a more interesting, delicate, and subtle flavor. I highly recommend you try making laksa soup to add something new and exciting to your usual home-cooked soups and delight your family. Serve the soup hot.
