Method
Prepare the broth base

Simmer aromatics and broth
In a large pot, combine the fish stock, onion, shallots, garlic, lemongrass paste, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook 6-8 minutes to soften aromatics.

Season the base
Stir in turmeric, fish sauce, palm sugar, and red chili powder. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and let flavors meld for 8-10 minutes.

Thicken with slurry
Whisk in the rice flour slurry slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer another 2-3 minutes until the broth slightly thickens.

Divide the cooked vermicelli among four bowls. Ladle hot broth with fish over the noodles.

Garnish and serve
Top each bowl with sliced hard-boiled eggs, chopped cilantro, and fried shallots. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
