What you’ll need

Allergens
Soy; possible fish, shellfish or gluten in laksa paste and tofu puffs. Coconut is an allergen for some people.

One step at a time

Let’s make it

  1. Warm 2 tbsp coconut milk in a saucepan. Stir in laksa paste for 1 minute.
  2. Add remaining coconut milk, stock, chicken, tofu and carrot. Simmer 12–15 minutes until chicken reaches 75°C.
  3. Cook noodles separately and drain. Add bean sprouts to the broth for the final minute if using.
  4. Taste and add salt only if needed. Serve noodles with broth; adults can add lime and chilli.

Preparation and cooking times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

Keep noodles and chicken separate from the broth for children who prefer dry foods.

Season it properly

Use a chilli-free laksa paste plus ginger or lemongrass for depth. Salt is optional; lime and chilli belong in adult bowls.

Simple swaps

Use plain chicken broth with turmeric and ginger if a laksa paste is too aromatic; verify every label.

Keep it safely

Refrigerate broth and noodles separately within 2 hours and use within 48 hours.

Food education

What the ingredients bring

These are practical food-group notes, not a laboratory nutrition analysis. Portions and brands change the numbers.

  • Chicken supplies protein and vitamin B6.
  • Coconut milk adds energy and fat for a satisfying bowl.
  • Carrot and bean sprouts contribute beta-carotene, vitamin C and fibre.
Before serving: supervise eating and adapt size and texture to your child’s chewing skills. These are ordinary family recipes, not a treatment for autism or a prescribed swallowing diet.
