Instructions

Soak the rice noodles in warm water to soften them. Set aside.
Blend the spice paste in a food processor, adding water if needed.
Add the oil to a pot over medium-high heat. Add the spice paste and stir with a spatula back and forth until aromatic.
Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, lemongrass, and water. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken breast cubes, cover the pot, and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Blanch the rice noodles, bean sprouts, and cabbage (if using) in another pot of boiling water. Transfer them to a bowl once cooked. Add the toppings of hard-boiled eggs and spring onions, then pour the hot chicken broth into the bowl.
Serve hot with lime wedges and shallot crisps on top of the noodles.
