Method
Sear the torn king oyster mushroom shreds in a little oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then set aside.
Blend the shallots, garlic and soaked dried chillies into a paste.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and fry the spice paste with the curry powder until fragrant.
Add the sweet potato cubes, chopped dried shiitake mushrooms, fermented soybean paste and vegetable stock, and simmer for 20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft enough to mash.
Mash the sweet potato into the gravy with the back of a spoon until thick and smooth.
Blanch the noodles and beansprouts briefly in boiling water, then drain and divide between bowls.
Ladle the hot gravy over the noodles and top with the seared mushroom shreds, tofu puffs and chopped chives.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.
