reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring gently.

When bubbling, sauté coriander roots and stem with garlic
for 2 minutes. Add sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook on high heat until soft and crispy at the edges.
6 Place noodles in a large bowl, top with boiling water so the
noodles are submerged. Loosen with a fork. Allow to sit for
2 minutes, drain well and keep warm.
7 Divide noodles into 4 bowls. Spoon over the laksa broth.
Top with a fillet of fish and some cooked sprouts.
8 Garnish with spring onions and coriander leaves.
