Curry laksa

Malaysian street noodle soup. I'm making it for The Ghost Bride Release Party on August 23, 2013. I've only had it twice — once at Azalina's and once at Lime Tree Southeast Asian Kitchen — and I'm not familiar with the ingredients, so I'm going to improvise.

Garnished with sambal and cilantro.

Serving size for 4.

• One red onion
• One inch piece of turmeric
• One inch piece of ginger
• Garlic

• 1/3 cup almonds, candlenuts (buah keras/ kimiri), or macadamias
• 2 tbsp belacan
