Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes or until they become soft. Drain and set aside.
Finely chop the red onion, garlic, ginger, and red chilies.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion, garlic, ginger, and chilies. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the ground turmeric and coriander powder to the pot, stirring well to coat the aromatic mixture.
Pour the coconut milk and vegetable broth into the pot. Stir in the tamari or soy sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gently bruise the lemongrass stalk by giving it a good whack with the back of a knife, then add it to the pot.
Add the cubed tofu, allowing it to simmer in the coconut broth for about 10 minutes, so it absorbs the flavors.
Add the bean sprouts and pak choi to the broth, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pak choi wilts.
Season the laksa with salt and pepper to your taste.
Divide the soaked rice noodles among serving bowls. Pour the laksa broth over the noodles, including an even portion of tofu and vegetables in each bowl.
Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
