Quick Malaysian Laksa

This is a variation on a previous laksa recipe but sufficiently tweaked to warrant its own entry...

For 4 portions you need:
1 can coconut milk
1 pack marinated tofu pieces
2 bundles thin rice noodles
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp curry paste
1 tomato, cut into 6 wedges
1 lime, quartered
4 spring onions, sliced
2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
1 cup fresh corriander, roughly chopped
1/5 cucumber, thinly sliced into sticks
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 pack baby sweetcorn and sugar snap peas, cut into bite sized chunks
1/2 pack bean sprouts
2 tbsp soya sauce, plus more for serving.
1/2 tbsp oil
500ml veg stock

Fry the onion in the oil for a few mins then add the curry paste. Cook for 2-3 mins and then add the coconut milk and stock. Add the carrots and cook for 1 min. Add the noodles, sweetcorn and peas and cook for 2 mins. Season with soya sauce and add more curry paste if you want it more strongly flavoured.

Serve in large bowls topped with the beansprouts, cucumber, tomato, spring onions, mint and corriander and seasoned with a little more soya sauce.
