Instructions
Start by preparing the tofu. Cut the firm tofu into small cubes and set aside.

Stir in the coconut milk and soy sauce. Add the tofu cubes and let the broth gently simmer for another 10 minutes.
While the broth is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Add the lime juice and salt to the broth. Stir well and taste, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
To assemble, divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot laksa broth over the noodles, ensuring an even distribution of tofu and broth.
