Start by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for 15-20 minutes until they soften. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the curry laksa paste. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable stock to the pot. Stir well to combine with the curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cut the firm tofu into cubes. Add the tofu and prawns to the simmering soup. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tofu to absorb some of the broth.
Stir in the bok choy or spinach, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the greens have wilted.
Add the soaked rice noodles and bean sprouts to the pot. Stir gently to combine and ensure the noodles are heated through.
Season the laksa soup with salt to taste and squeeze juice from the lime into the pot.
Serve the laksa in bowls, garnish with fresh coriander and sliced red chili for an extra kick.
Enjoy your gluten-free curry laksa hot, savoring the aromatic flavors!
