Healthy Seafood Laksa Recipe

Healthier Seafood Laksa Recipe 
Who doesn’t love a good laksa? We took it upon ourselves to develop a healthier Seafood Laksa that’s inspired by one of the more popular Singaporean restaurants in Manila. (Hint: They used to have a branch in Alabang and Rockwell) We used simpler and healthier ingredients, most of which are pantry essentials, except for the Laksa paste that’s widely available online. In this recipe, we use white fish filets that are baked and not fried. We also add plenty of vegetables to make it hefty and nutritious. Light coconut milk combined with Knorr Fish Cubes makes a great soup base that’s guilt-free and satisfying. With minimal ingredients and prep time, this recipe is perfect for making a dinner date at home, so much more special. 

Tips

Adding the bean sprouts at the last few minutes of cooking the laksa warms them up while helping them remain crisp.
