This spicy seafood laksa recipe is great paired with a glass of zibibbo, according to journalist and wine writer, Kate Spain. “This conversation starter holds its own with a steaming bowl of laksa. Expect a whirlwind of aromas and flavour: herbs, spice, stone fruit and tangerine,” she says.

Prep: 15min
Total: 30min
Yield: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ tablespoons tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus extra lime slices for serving
- ½ teaspoon honey (or maple syrup if vegan)
- ½ teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (or any high-heat oil)
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
- ½ small head broccoli, florets chopped, stems peeled into strips
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 baby bok choy, sliced vertically into quarters
- ½ cup edamame
- 1 carrot, peeled into thin strips
- 4 ounces brown rice pasta *(see note)
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- sambal or sriracha, for serving
Instruction:
- Make the sauce by stirring together the tamari, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse and set aside (or leave them in cold water or toss with a little oil to prevent clumping).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and broccoli, stir to coat then let cook 1 to 2 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften and the broccoli begins to brown. Give the pan a good shake and stir, then add the scallions, bok choy, and edamame. Cook, stirring occasionally for another 2 minutes, until the bok choy and broccoli are tender but still vibrant.
- Add the carrots and noodles and toss. Add the sauce, toss again. Add a squeeze of lime. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with extra lime slices and sambal or sriracha on the side.
