Nutritional values
Those who have problems with digestion should go to pineapple. The enzyme bromelain breaks down proteins and makes them much easier to digest. In addition, the exotic fruit provides many B vitamins, which strengthen the nerves and ensure beautiful skin and hair.
You can get the turmeric roots for Asam Laksa, for example, in unpacked and organic stores, well-stocked supermarkets or at the weekly market.

In the meantime, soak the pasta in hot water for about 10 minutes according to the package instructions, then drain, rinse in cold water and leave to drain. Rinse fish fillet, pat dry and cut into pieces. Add to soup and simmer for another 10-12 minutes over medium heat.
Meanwhile, cut pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Clean and wash cucumber, spring onions and lettuce. Cut cucumber into small pieces and spring onions into fine strips. Cut iceberg lettuce into equally fine strips. Wash herbs, shake dry and pluck leaves.
Season the Asam Laksa with sugar, lime juice and salt and place in bowls with the noodles. Garnish with pineapple, cucumber, spring onions, iceberg lettuce, herbs as well as chili rings and serve.
