做法
- 先煮虾汤:虾壳虾头用 2 大勺油煸 3 分钟。加 1.2 升水,小火炖 25 分钟。过滤。
- 把泡软的干辣椒、新鲜辣椒、红葱头、大蒜、姜黄、高良姜、香茅、石栗、马来虾酱和泡软的虾米一起打成细腻的香料泥。
- 厚底锅烧热 4 大勺油。下香料泥煸炒 8 分钟,直到香气四溢、油色浮上来。颜色应当呈深砖红色。
- 倒入虾汤和椰浆,小火煮 15 分钟使风味融合。加鱼露和糖。尝味——应该是甜中带咸,辣味缓慢上来,带椰浆的醇厚。
- 把叻沙面切成 5 厘米的短段——加东叻沙的规矩就是只用勺子吃,不用筷子。烧开水煮 3 分钟,捞出沥干。
- 把虾下到汤里煮 90 秒至变红。加入鱼饼、豆腐泡和蛤蜊再煮 60 秒。把面分入大碗,浇上汤底和配料。每碗顶上撒一把切碎的叻沙叶和几撮生豆芽。配参巴酱端上桌,想加辣的食客自取。

文化背景
加东叻沙是新加坡东海岸地区特有的咖喱叻沙——切短的米粉、只用勺子吃、汤底比马来西亚的咖喱面更稠更甜。土生华人(娘惹)的痕迹很重:香料泥配方就是娘惹一脉,而叻沙叶(daun kesum)是它的标志。这道菜诞生于 1960 年代加东街区的『胡须佬叻沙』(Janggut Laksa)摊——摊主是位留着大胡子的老人,janggut 就是『胡须』之意,如今他的店已经发展成连锁。『只用勺子』的规矩是加东最具辨识度的传统。
