Ingredients

23 ounces thick beehoon noodles (brown rice spaghetti), broken into 2-inch pieces
6 tablespoons canola oil
Rempah Spice Paste
2 (4-inch) pieces lemongrass stem, crushed
2 1/2 cups coconut cream
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
Chicken seasoning powder (optional)
15 deep-fried tofu puffs
3 1/2 ounces beansprouts
20 slices prepared fishcake
10 prawns, cooked and peeled
10 scallops, cooked
Laksa (Rau Ram leaves) or holy basil leaves, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until slightly softer than al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and add rempah. Cook, stirring, until oil begins to separate, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 9 1/2 cups water and lemongrass; bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
Add coconut milk, salt, sugar, chicken seasoning, if using, and 5 tofu puffs. Simmer over medium-low heat for 7 minutes. Add noodles and cook for 30 seconds to absorb flavor. Transfer noodles to serving bowls.
Top noodles with gravy, remaining tofu puffs, beansprouts, fishcake, prawns, and scallops. Garnish with laksa and serve immediately.
