  1. GET STARTED

    Place a pot for the laksa over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add in the butternut pieces and stir through a splash of water to cover the base of the pot. Pop on a lid and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butternut 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 butternut 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 butternut laksa. Top with the chopped peanuts, crunchy chickpeas, and chopped piquanté peppers. Garnish with the chopped coriander and a lime wedge. That was easy… Now, it’s time to munch!
