Directions
Step 1
Soak the rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Peel and chop the lemongrass, ginger, garlic, shallots, and red chili peppers. Blend these with a splash of water to form a smooth paste.

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
