Instructions

Combine the stock, coconut and curry paste in a pot

Bring to a simmer

Cook the noodles

Assemble the noodles, tofu and vegetables then pour over the broth

Hint: sometimes if I'm feeling extra lazy I'll just cook the noodles in a bowl of hot water in the microwave. Just add the noodles to a bowl with hot water and microwatt for 5 minutes!

Substitutions

1. Meat: Not a fan of tofu? swap with chicken, fish or beef!
2. Rice noodles: Swap udon noodles with rice noodles for a gluten-free alternative.
3. Tofu variation: Experiment with different types of tofu such as silken or smoked tofu for varied textures and flavors.

Variations

For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce or soy sauce to the broth before serving.

Storage

You can divide up the broth into containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Although the noodles may get extra soggy, you can story them with the broth for a couple of days in the fridge. But I would personally store the broth on its own then thaw/reheat and pour over freshly cooked noodles and fresh vegetables!
