Seafood Laksa
On a trip to Singapore, Joe took it upon himself to create the best laksa recipe for The 4 Blades community. After many attempts, he really nailed it. Well, this seafood variation of the original really steps it up a notch again. We love it, and we hope you will too!
Recipe Tester Feedback: "Kudos to Joe! As it happened, my Malaysian friend was here for dinner so we had a real critic. The end result was an absolutely delicious meal with beautiful flavours. My friend thought the smell and taste were spot on." - Kristen
