This recipe came about after a busy day at work when I really didn’t want to spend a long time preparing dinner.

I opened my fridge to see what I can whip together, I saw some chicken mince, carrots, potatoes and a jar of laksa paste. I also noticed some frozen puff pastry in the freezer.

I had made a shortcut chicken curry pot pie before, so I thought Laksa is very similar in flavour to curry, why don’t i make a laksa chicken pot pie?

And it works! This pie is super easy and quick to put together and feels a lot lighter than your typical bowl of laksa noodles.

Laksa, if you don’t know is a spicy noodle soup popular in Southeast Asia. Laksa consists of thick wheat noodles or rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup based on either rich and spicy curry coconut milk or on sour asam. It is very delicious.

This of course do not compare to an actual bowl of laksa noodles but it’s good for when you want that rich, coconut, spicy taste but don’t really want that heavy, carb overload afterwards.

You can use whatever vegetables or meat you have in your fridge, the measurements are also quite fluid, please try and adjust seasonings to your taste as different laksa paste have different strengths. You can buy laksa paste at Asian Grocery Stores. I recommend this one

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
500 g or 1 lb chicken mince
2 carrots chopped

1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt, sugar, pepper to taste
1 sheet store bought frozen puff pastry
1 egg for wash
Some sesame seeds for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 C (356F or whatever is closest)
Leave frozen puff pastry sheet to thaw on the counter while you make pie filling.
Heat up some oil on a non stick pan, add chopped onions and cook until fragrant
Add chicken mince and cook until starting to brown
Add vegetables and coconut milk
Stir in laksa paste
Taste and add seasonings to your taste, I added a little sugar for some sweetness but it depends on your laksa paste and how it tastes
Cook until chicken and vegetables are thoroughly cooked, most liquid has evaporated and the mixture is of desired pie filling consistency.
Turn off heat and transfer pie filling into a pie dish
Cover with puff pastry
Brush with egg wash
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden. I did have to put on grill for a few minutes to get the golden crust, it might be different for your oven.
