Chicken, Buckwheat Noodle, Roast Garlic & Coriander Laksa

So what makes this so different from chicken noodle soup, you may well ask. Most chicken noodle soups I’ve had have been fairly insipid, but this relies on a gutsy, brown, roast chicken stock, full of dense buckwheat noodles and smoky roast garlic. Like all laksas, it’s a filling meal in itself or, served in tiny bowls, it makes a wonderful starter with something simple like roast sea bass to follow.
