Introduction and history
Laksa Sarawak is very well-known and is an iconic dish for the people of Sarawak. The uniqueness of this laksa lies in the special spices used during its preparation. These laksa spices are distinctly different and not found in laksa dishes from other states. Besides the special spices, other basic ingredients include rice vermicelli, cooked chicken meat, fried tofu, omelette strips, bean sprouts, black fungus, shrimp, boiled eggs, and calamansi lime. The broth is made from a mixture of sambal belacan, coconut milk, tamarind juice, garlic, galangal, and lemongrass.

The first step in preparing Mi Kolok is to boil two litters of water with laksa spices and one or two stalks of lemongrass that have been lightly crushed. After it has boiled for a while, gradually add the other prepared ingredients such as shrimp, coconut milk, salt, and sugar, then mix all the ingredients well to achieve a balanced taste. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl with rice vermicelli and place the well-mixed laksa ingredients over the vermicelli. For the final step to complete the dish, pour the laksa broth into the bowl with the vermicelli, followed by sambal belacan and calamansi lime juice. Once everything is ready, the Mi Kolok dish is set to be enjoyed by the whole family.
