Note
If using dried rice vermicelli (beehoon) instead of fresh laksa noodles, soak in hot water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain and divide among bowls before adding the hot broth.
Ensure the squid is cleaned thoroughly to remove any membrane for the best texture.
For a richer broth, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or fish sauce to the simmering liquid.
Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
