This vibrant variation of the classic Southeast Asian noodle soup features juicy king prawns swimming in a rich, spicy, and aromatic coconut curry broth. Topped with fried tofu puffs that soak up the delicious liquid, this dish offers the perfect balance of heat and creaminess for a comforting dinner.
Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in hot water for 10-15 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the curry paste and turmeric powder, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the coconut milk, sugar, and fish sauce. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add the fried tofu puffs and the king prawns to the broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through.
Divide the softened noodles and bean sprouts between two large serving bowls.
Ladle the hot broth, prawns, and tofu puffs generously over the noodles.
Top each bowl with hard-boiled egg halves, fresh cilantro, and sliced chili.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
