Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the curry paste (1 jar) to a saucepan along with the fat from the coconut milk (800 ml). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, over a medium heat until combined.
step 2
Add in the rest of the coconut milk and heat through for 1 minute. Adjust the flavour to taste with the lime juice (1), fish sauce (1 tsp) and brown sugar (1 tbsp).
step 3
Meanwhile, in a pan of boiling water, cook the eggs (4) for 6.5 minutes then plunge straight into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Peel, halve and set aside.
step 4
Cook the noodles (500 g) according to pack instructions. Drain well.
step 5
Remove 1/3 of the noodles and pat dry.
step 6
Pour the vegetable oil (as needed) into a large saucepan until it’s ¾ full. Heat to 175c and fry the dried noodles for 1-2 mins until crispy. Set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
step 7
Carefully cross hatch each side of the tofu (1 pack) slices with a sharp knife. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
step 8
Add the curry powder (1 1/2 tbsp), tomato paste (1 tbsp), brown sugar (1 tsp) and only 2 tbsp of the oil (2 tbsp), to a small bowl and mix together until you create a paste. Season.
step 9
Rub this into the crosshatch and then heat the remaining oil (1 tbsp) in a non-stick frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
step 10
Gently reheat the curry sauce, then add the boiled noodles to a bowl, and top with the sauce. Add the tofu, fried noodles, bamboo shoots (1 tin), coriander (as needed), lime wedges (as needed) and finish with the egg.
