How to Make Aubergine Eggplant And Broccoli Laksa
- Combine 2-3 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 4 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander, and 1 tbsp grated ginger in a food processor.
- Peel and roughly chop 2 stalks lemongrass, removing tough outer leaves.
- Add the lemongrass and 4-5 kaffir lime leaves to the food processor.
- Add 1 tsp turmeric powder to the food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms. Add a tablespoon of oil if needed to help blend.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep pan or pot over medium heat.
- Add half of the spice paste to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock and 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
- While the broth simmers, wash and cut 1 large aubergine (eggplant) into 1-inch thick bite-sized pieces.
- Add the aubergine and 2 tbsp fish sauce to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head of broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Add the blanched broccoli to the soup.
- Add 8 oz dried rice noodles to the boiling broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or according to package directions.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint and any remaining chopped coriander.
- Serve hot and garnish with extra coriander and lime wedges (optional).
