Penang Laksa

My boys dislike sandines. But sandines are nutritious as it is high in calcium. So, I tried to make them eat sandines by cooking Penang Laksa. 



Ingredients: 
- a can of sardines 
- a can of pineapple 
- a few hard-boiled eggs 
- 2 cucumbers, cut into strips 
- 3 red onions, sliced 
- assam paste
- 1 tablespoon of chinchalok 
- noodles 
- sugar, salt, lime juice 

Procedures: 
1) Cook noodles. Set it aside. 
2) In a pot of water, add onions, pineapple, assam paste, chinchalok, sandines (slightly chopped) and cucumber. Adjust the taste with sugar, salt and lime juice. 
3) Add the soup ingredients to the noodles. Top it with eggs and any desired garnish.

This Hakka's dish can be very complicated as cooking the traditional way would involve branching, deep-frying, stir-frying and steaming! So, I have decided to simplify it.
