  1. GET STARTED

    Place a pot for the laksa over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger and ½ of the sliced chilli for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add in the sweet potato chunks and stir through a splash of water to cover the base of the pot. Pop on a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato is cooked through but not too soft.

  2. GET TOASTING

    Place the peanuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  3. SOME MORE TOASTING

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained chickpeas for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour, shifting occasionally. If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in! Remove the pan from the heat on completion.

  4. WHILE THE CHICKPEAS ARE POPPING OFF…

    When the sweet potato is cooked, transfer to a bowl and add in the peanut butter, tamari, and coconut milk. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and combined. For a silkier sauce, use a blender if you have one. Return to the pot over a medium heat. Add the noodles and stir in 150ml of water. Replace the lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally, submerging the noodles in the sauce as they start to soften.

  5. LOOKING GOOD

    Stir through the shredded spinach and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. On completion, the spinach should be wilted, the noodles should be cooked through, and the sauce should be thick. Remove from the heat and mix in some lime juice, zest, and seasoning – all to taste.

  6. LUSCIOUS LAKSA

    Bowl up the creamy sweet potato laksa. Top with the chopped peanuts, crunchy chickpeas, and any remaining sliced chilli. Garnish with the chopped coriander and a lime wedge. That was easy… Now, it’s time to munch!
