Watching the Food Channel, I caught an episode of Jamie’s 15 minute meals in which he uses a squash as the base for a spicy noddle soup, Laksa. Since I’d never cooked a squash and never heard of a Laksa, it was time to give it a go.
What a list of ingredients for a ‘quick’ meal, and when you watch the video Jamie rattles through them so fast there is no way to keep up. So back ‘n forth I'd go trying to not miss anything. Even so, I skipped the coconut milk and limes although thankfully I'd laid out everything at the beginning and so spotted these during the clear-down.
Verdict: The laksa had a great blend of flavours, some of which were a little unusual for our household. Heather and Adam gave it the thumbs down, while the rest of us gave it a more positive reception. The chicken is particularly nice and the honey with sesame seeds is very eye catching. Watch you don't over cook the noddles since they will start to dissolve.
