Instructions
Cook the laksa paste in a large pot over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer.
Season with fish sauce and sugar. Add the tofu puffs and simmer for 10 minutes to let them absorb the broth.
Add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and curled. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package and drain.
Tip: If you can't find laksa paste, blend together: 4 dried chilies, 2 lemongrass stalks, 1 inch galangal, 3 shallots, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 tsp shrimp paste.
Divide noodles between bowls. Ladle the curry broth over with shrimp and tofu puffs. Top with bean sprouts, cilantro, laksa leaf, a squeeze of lime, and sambal on the side.
