Steps to make Asam Laksa (Spicy and Tangy Fish Broth with Rice Noodles):
  1. STOCK; Boil the entire mackerel in 1 litre of water for 10 minutes. Remove the fishes and let it cool. Once cooled, separate the fish meat from the bones. Flake the meat and set aside. Continue to boil the flesh for another 30 minutes. After that, strain the stock and discard the bones.
  2. BROTH; Heat the stock and add the blended paste, 2 lemongrass, 2 ginger flower, 8 sprigs vietnamese mint, tamarind juice and tamarind slice. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes. After that, discard the the aromatics and add the fish meat, season with salt.
  3. OPTIONAL; techincally the broth is done, but I prefer to blend the broth to give it a better texture and body. Entirely optional.
  4. ASSEMBLY; In a soup plate, place 100g of Rice noodles and pour in the broth. Top it with 20 g of Red Chilli, 20 g of Ginger Flower, 20 g of Red Onion, 1 Calamansi Lime, a few mint leaves and 40 g of cucumber. Optionally, you can also add pineapples and Hae Ko (shrimp paste).

To serve, simply put the rice noodles in a bowl and ladle the boiling soup onto the noodles. Topped with fish flakes, cucumber, pineapple, lettuce, red chillies, bunga kantan, mint leave and shrimp paste. The rice noodle in hot and tangy fish broth is comfort food to me like what shepherd's pie is to the English. Asam Laksa uses a lot of tamarind, both tamarind paste and tamarind peel, hence its name (asam is tamarind in Malay).
