Ingredients

  • Coriander: small bunch coriander leaves, to serve
  • Spring Onion: bunch spring onions, sliced
  • Lime: lime wedges, to serve
  • Butternut Squash: 1 small butternut squash (about 600g/1lb 5oz once peeled), cut into chunks
  • Chicken Stock: 600ml chicken stock
  • Salmon Fillet: 400g skinless salmon fillet, cut into large chunks
  • Prawn: 200g tail-on prawn
  • Coconut Milk: 400g can coconut milk
  • Beansprout: 300g pack beansprout
  • Rice Noodle: 140g medium rice noodle, soaked in boiling water and drained
  • Laksa Paste: 185g jar laksa paste (or use 2-3 tbsp Thai red curry paste)

Directions

  1. Heat the paste in a large saucepan and fry the squash for a few mins until well coated in the paste. Pour in the coconut milk and stock, and simmer for 10 mins. The squash should still have a bite to it. Add the drained noodles and beansprouts.
  2. To freeze, turn off the heat immediately and leave to cool, then transfer to a suitable container for freezing. If you're making this to eat now, add the salmon and prawns, and cook for 4-5 mins until the fish is cooked through.
  3. If frozen, defrost overnight in the fridge, then return to a large saucepan. Add the salmon and prawns, cover, bring to the boil and simmer until the fish is cooked - it should only take 1-2 mins. Stir through the spring onions, then sprinkle with coriander and serve with some lime wedges.
