Step 1: Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped shallots to the pot. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the shallots are soft.
Step 4: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5: Add the cubed tofu to the pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
Step 6: Stir in the lime juice and soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7: Divide the soaked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup and tofu over the noodles.
Step 8: Top with mung bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, sliced spring onions, and fresh red chili for garnish.
Step 9: Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side if desired.
