Malaysia Nyonya Laksa Outdoor Cooking Class

About:

Malaysia Nyonya Laksa is a flavourful noodle soup originating from the Peranakan culture, a blend of Chinese and Malay influences in Malaysia and Singapore. The name "Nyonya" refers to the women of this community, who played a significant role in creating this culinary hybrid. Nyonya Laksa reflects the cultural exchange and creativity of the Peranakan women, combining Chinese ingredients with Malay spices and cooking techniques. This dish is a testament to the community's rich culinary heritage.

Nyonya Laksa typically features thick rice noodles or vermicelli, accompanied by prawns, fish cakes, bean sprouts, and fresh vegetables. Herbs like laksa leaves and torch ginger add a fragrant touch. The dish balances spicy, sour, salty, and sweet flavours.

For those new to this dish, Malaysia Nyonya Laksa offers an exciting culinary adventure with its unique blend of Asian spices and creamy texture, making it a must-try for anyone interested in exploring Southeast Asian cuisine.
