This healthy classic Laksa is packed full of flavour and nutrition. It's simple and easy to cook. You can cook in batches and store in the fridge for up to a week. Best cook the noodles fresh when needed (they only take a few minutes). It's such a versatile dish and you will want to cook it again and again and add your own touches as you go.
