Assam Laksa

Assam Laksa

　　   Assam Laksa is a rich soup made by simmering fish (usually mackerel), with a slightly sour taste. "Assam" refers to a tropical sour tamarind fruit, which is the main source of the sourness in Assam Laksa. Ingredients include red chili, lemongrass, torch ginger flower, turmeric, shallots, and other spices cooked together in the fish broth.

　　   Assam Laksa is typically served with rice vermicelli or thin rice noodles, cucumber, pineapple, spring onion, lettuce, mint leaves, bean sprouts, and other toppings. The rich and flavorful broth makes it an incredibly delicious dish.
