It’s my first time cooking Sarawak Laksa single-handedly. Filming and cooking on my own wasn’t easy. Finally I got the videos all up. I’m compiling it here for easy reference. This exclusive recipe was shared to me by a friend. I was asked to make a video with it. So, here you go! It’s not your typical Sarawak Laksa broth. You see it here first! It’s thick and flavourful. Everything I used in the videos were not sponsored.

Prepare the Rest of the Ingredients
(1) Beehoon:
Boil a pot of water and cook the beehoon based on the instructions on the packet.
Drain it and set it aside.
(2) Chicken:
Boil 3 mugs of water with 1 tbsp of beaten ginger and 1 tsp of salt.
Put chicken in to boil then turn down the heat.
Cover the pot and cook for 8-9 minutes (depending on the chicken part you’re using) or until it’s cooked.

After airing, cut into strips. If using breast meat, you can shred it.

Blanch the beansprouts.
Remove from the pot and set aside.
