Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red Thai curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the coconut milk and gluten-free vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the bruised lemongrass stalk and kaffir lime leaves into the soup base. Let simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Add the prawns, white fish fillet chunks, and mussels into the pot. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked and the mussels open.
Season the soup with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Add the soaked rice noodles and bean sprouts to the soup. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the lemongrass stalk and lime leaves before serving.
Ladle the laksa into serving bowls and garnish generously with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
