When I went back to Malaysia last year, the one paste that I really wanted to buy was this Penang assam laksa paste. I had to search for it in Penang and in the end, my aunty had to bring me to a special supplier house to buy it. Now, I can have assam laksa in the U.S. :)
This paste is really good, very original and I had my craving fixed. An otherwise very troublesome recipe to make turned into an easy recipe with a ready made paste. If you ever go to Malaysia, do stock up on this paste as it is not available here. Below I will show you the ingredients I used to make this, only need to wash and slice those ingredients to eat with the noodle and that's it!
Prawn paste- optional
Can pineapple rings
I used sardine in olive oil here, just add the sardine and discard the oil in a plastic bag
Red onion
Lettuce
English cucumber
Rice noodle
I don't have mint leave
You can also add red chili padi (bird eye chili) for extra spiciness
Just follow the instruction as the back of the package and thinly slice those vegetable to serve.

If you're back in Malaysia again and you're in Penang, I've found the Assam laksa paste at the Pulau Tikus market and Chowrasta market.
