For the paste (rempah) 1. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the chillies, garlic and ginger with the salt to form a
coarse paste. Add the lemongrass and macadamia nuts and grind to a thick paste. Beat in the shrimp paste, if using.
For the Laksa: 1. Heat the coconut oil in a large wok, or heavy-‐based pot. 2. SAr in the onions with the jaggery, unAl they begin to colour. 3. Add the spice paste, sArring all the Ame, unAl it emits a warming aroma, then sAr in
the turmeric and ground spices. 4. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock, fish oil, and soy sauce and bring the liquid to
the boil. 5. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-‐25 minutes to let the flavours mingle. Season well
to taste and sAr in most of the fresh coriander. 6. Add the prawns and salmon chunks for 1-‐2 minutes, then add the noodles – drain
them first if using soaked noodles – and let them heat through. 7. Ladle the soupy noodles into bowls, combine the mint with the chillies and sprinkle it
over the top with the reserved coriander. 8. Serve immediately with wedges of lime to squeeze into the soup.
