Prepare quick pickled cucumber. Thinly slice the cucumber and add to a bowl with 2tbsp rice wine vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Heat a pan with some oil and crumble in the tofu, cook on a high heat with some soy sauce until brown and crispy.
Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, chilli and turmeric to a large pot with 2 tbsp water. Stir over a low heat for a couple of minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk and mix well. Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the noodles. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 4 minutes or until the noodles are soft. Add more stock if needed. Stir. Season to taste with some soy sauce/tamari. Squeeze in lime juice to taste.
Serve the noodle soup in bowls, add your favourite toppings and finish with a drizzle of chilli oil. Enjoy!
