Instructions

In a stockpot, add the oil and saute the instant curry paste until aromatic. Add the chicken broth, water, and lemongrass, and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu puffs, coconut milk, and evaporated milk. Add salt to taste. Keep the stock simmering.
Rinse the yellow noodles and bean sprouts separately, then drain and set aside. To assemble a bowl of laksa for serving, bring some yellow noodles and a handful of bean sprouts to a boil. Drain the noodles and bean sprouts, and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Top the noodles with 2-3 shrimp, a few pieces of fish cake, and some eggs. Using a ladle, pour the soup and add a few pieces of tofu puffs on top of the noodles. Serve immediately.
