Matching Drinks

For this dish, we would recommend a white wine that complements the warm and aromatic flavors of the turmeric-ginger broth. Here are a few options:

Riesling: This German white wine is known for its crisp acidity and flavors of green apple, pear, and honey. It would pair nicely with the noodles and sauce.

Pinot Grigio: A light-bodied Pinot Grigio with flavors of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus would also complement the dish well.

Gewürztraminer: This aromatic white wine from Alsace, France is known for its floral and fruit aromas. It would pair nicely with the laksa noodles and turmeric-ginger broth.
