• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until slightly softer than al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and add rempah. Cook, stirring, until oil begins to separate, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 9 1/2 cups water and lemongrass; bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add coconut milk, salt, sugar, chicken seasoning, if using, and 5 tofu puffs. Simmer over medium-low heat for 7 minutes. Add noodles and cook for 30 seconds to absorb flavor. Transfer noodles to serving bowls.
