Step 1
Heat oil in a pot over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in garlic and red chili paste. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add fish stock and tamarind paste.
Step 3
Bring broth to a simmer. Cut fish into bite-sized chunks and add to the pot with green beans. Simmer 6–8 minutes until fish flakes easily.
Step 4
Meanwhile, soften noodles in boiling water, stirring gently, until tender (about 4 minutes if fresh). Drain and divide between bowls.
Step 5
Ladle broth, fish, and green beans over noodles. Taste and adjust salt or tamarind for balance between sour and salty.
Step 6
Serve hot, topped with extra sliced shallots and garlic if desired.
