Laksa is a spiced noodle soup dish common across Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, typically made with rice noodles, coconut milk broth, and protein such as prawns, chicken or tofu. It is usually served hot as a complete meal, with regional variations ranging from the coconut-rich curry laksa to the tamarind-based asam laksa. Per 100 g, laksa provides 130 kcal, 7 g of protein, 7.5 g of fat, 10.5 g of carbohydrates and 1.5 g of dietary fibre. It contains a notable 540 mg of sodium and 280 mg of potassium per 100 g, along with 80 mcg of vitamin A, 10 mg of vitamin C and 0.5 mcg of vitamin B12. Laksa is compatible with dairy-free and gluten-free dietary patterns.
How many calories in laksa?
Laksa contains 130 kcal per 100 g. A typical restaurant serving of around 400–500 g would put a bowl at roughly 520–650 kcal, depending on the specific ingredients and portion size.
How much sodium is in laksa?
Laksa contains 540 mg of sodium per 100 g, which is relatively high compared to many other dishes. A full bowl can therefore contribute a significant portion of daily sodium intake, largely due to the seasoned broth and paste used in preparation.
Is laksa gluten-free?
Laksa is generally gluten-free when made with rice noodles and a traditional coconut or tamarind broth, and it appears in the gluten-free diet category based on its standard profile. However, some commercial laksa pastes may contain wheat-based ingredients, so checking labels is worthwhile if strict avoidance is needed.
