Celery

Most Thai pastes contain shrimp paste and fish sauce. Vegan pastes exist and carry neither.
Nearly every stock cube and pot lists celery. Home-made stock without it carries no flag.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Raw king prawns, peeled150 g
Raw peeled weight. Cooked prawns are denser per gram, about 85 kcal and 20 g protein.
Cooked rice noodles150 g
Cooked weight, after soaking.
Reduced-fat coconut milk, tinned150 ml
Full-fat coconut milk at the same volume is about 145 kcal more. The broth is thinner with light and still tastes of coconut.
Thai red curry paste1 tbsp (15 g)
Vegetable stock200 ml
Made up from a cube or a pot.
Mangetout60 g
Baby corn60 g
Fish sauce1 tsp (5 g)
Lime juiceJuice of half a lime
Fresh corianderA handful

Method

Fry the curry paste in a dry pan over a medium heat for a minute until it smells toasted, then pour in the coconut milk and stock and bring it to a simmer.
Add the baby corn, halved lengthways, and simmer for three minutes. Add the prawns and mangetout and cook for two more, until the prawns are pink through.
Season with the fish sauce and lime. Put the noodles in the bowl and pour everything over, with the coriander on top.

Worth knowing

A restaurant laksa is made with full-fat coconut milk and a great deal more paste and oil, and can run past 800 kcal. The paste here is weighed because it is where the oil is.
Thai curry paste usually contains shrimp paste, hence the crustacean and fish flags on the paste as well as the prawns. A vegan paste exists if that matters.
