Step 1

Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Process to form a paste.

Step 2

Add the laksa paste to a medium pan and heat to medium-low heat. Simmer the paste 20 minutes, until it deepens to a rich red color. The oil will separate slightly. Set aside. (NOTE: You can make the paste ahead. The flavors are even better the next day.)

Step 3

Add the laksa broth ingredients to a large pot with the laksa paste. Bring to a boil, then simmer on very low for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. Strain out the solids and adjust for salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the white fish and shrimp. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish and shrimp are cooked through.

Step 5

Distribute the prepared noodles into bowls, then ladle in the laksa broth with fish and shrimp over them.

Step 6

Top with soft boiled eggs, then garnish with your desired toppings and serve.
