- Trim the pak choi then halve lengthways.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Halve the lime. Thinly slice the chilli.
- Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
- Place a large pot over high heat with a glug of oil.
- Chop the tofu into 2cm cubes and pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and carrot.
- Fry until tofu is slightly crispy and carrot is softened, 6-8 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the Thai spice and korma paste and cook for 2-3 mins.
- Stir in the coconut milk, stock and 300ml water (per 2P).
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 mins.
- While the laksa simmers, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, lay in the pak choi. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook on one side for 2 mins then turn over and cook for another 2 mins.
- Add the garlic to the pak choi and fry for 1 min. It should be slightly browned and charred.
- Add a splash of water, pop a lid (or some foil) on the pan and leave to steam for another 3 mins.
