Method
Blend the ginger, galangal, lemongrass, garlic, shallots and coriander seeds into a paste.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the paste with the turmeric powder until fragrant.
Add the tofu cubes and shredded mushroom, then pour in the water, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes.
Soak the glass noodles in hot water until soft, then drain.
Blanch the beansprouts briefly in the simmering broth.
Divide the noodles and beansprouts between bowls, ladle over the hot broth with the tofu and mushroom, and top with crispy fried shallots.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.
