Start by preparing the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Cut the tofu into cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the laksa paste and fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add the chicken pieces into the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through.
Add the tofu cubes and prawns to the broth. Season with salt and simmer for another 5-6 minutes until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Divide the cooked rice vermicelli noodles among 4 serving bowls.
Ladle the hot laksa broth, along with the chicken, tofu, and prawns, over the noodles.
Top each bowl with bean sprouts, half a hard-boiled egg, and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the laksa just before eating.
