Make
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then garlic and shallots to heated oil. Saute for ~1 minute, until fragrant.
- Next add tofu and saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Fold in cabbage and mushrooms and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add curry paste, coconut milk, vegetable broth, second part of soy sauce (if you are okay using fish sauce, it does give the broth a deep flavor), and second part of brown sugar. Cover and bring to a boil and then simmer for 4 to 6 minutes.
- While soup is cooking, pick off cilantro leaves and slice limes into wedges.
- Taste and season with more soy sauce if it’s not savory enough or curry paste if it’s not fragrant enough.
- Divide noodles into bowls. Ladle soup over noodles and serve with cilantro and lime wedges.
