Notes
- The cooked rice noodles should be cut in 2-3" pieces so they can be scooped into a soup spoon as is done in traditional laksa.
- Make sure the seafood is cooked through before serving.
- Turn the stove off before adding the seafood to avoid overcooking it. It will cook through with the residual heat of the liquid.
