How to cook:

Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and cook, over medium heat, for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or burning. This process toasts the spices and releases all those beautiful flavours and aromas. Add more coconut oil if the mix dries up.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken. Stir through for a minute.
Pour in the stock, and add the fish sauce, palm sugar and juice of 1 lime. Bring everything to a boil.
After a couple of minutes, turn the heat to low and add the coconut milk and cream. Stir through and turn the heat down to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes, lid on.
You can prepare the vegetables and garnishes while the soup is cooking away. Have a few thin slices of chilli and fresh coriander leaves ready for garnish.
It’s time to finish off the cooking. Bring the heat back up to medium-high and add the Chinese broccoli, regular broccoli and carrots to the soup. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the prawns and zucchini last as they require minimal cooking, about 2 minutes. A good way to tell if the prawns are cooked (besides actually tasting one) is to look for when they start to curl and change to white/pinkish colour. Turn the heat off at this stage.
Serve a mix of chicken, prawns and vegetables with a couple of ladles of soup, garnished with fresh cucumber, coriander and chilli on top.

Devein the prawns and place in fridge till required.
In a hot pan, fry the shells and prawn heads in a tablespoon or two of oil. Fry till golden and crispy, squashing the pieces with a potato masher to get all the flavour out of them.
Add 2 cups of water and leave to simmer with the lid off for 20 mins.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a largish pot and then place in all the paste. Cook on medium heat till fragrant, stirring often.

Pour in the prawn stock and the chicken stock.
Add the fish sauce and the kaffir lime leaves and let it come to a gentle simmer.
Gently place the chicken breast into the pot and leave to poach for 15 minutes. Remove when ready and then shred when cool enough to handle.
Place the prawns into the soup base and simmer for 4 minutes.
Don’t worry about noodles and chicken having cooled down as the heat of the soup base will warm everything up to a perfect eating temperature.

Ladle the soup base into each bowl
