Penang Asam Laksa

Penang Asam Laksa is a spicy, sweet and sour noodle soup. Garlic, lemongrass, fresh turmeric, shallots, chilli paste and belacan are all grounded into a paste. Tamarind paste is then mixed with warm water, squeezed and sieved into a stock pot and brought to boil. Mint leaves, sugar, dried tamarind slices or asam keping, slices of torch ginger bud or bunga kantan and the grounded paste of spices are added into the boiling broth. Mackerel fish or ikan kembong is then added into the stock and boiled until cooked. Scoop up the fish and debone. Leave the broth simmering. The mint leaves and dried tamarind slices are removed before putting in the flaked fish meat. Served with thick rice noodles garnished with freshly sliced cucumber, pineapples, onions, mint leaves and a spoonful of thick prawn paste or heh ko, and you have your Laksa!
