Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Stir in laksa paste until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour in coconut milk and fish stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, then add prawns.
Step 3
Cook prawns until opaque and firm, 3–4 minutes. Do not overcook or they'll turn rubbery.
Step 4
Add noodles and bok choy. Simmer until noodles are tender and greens are wilted, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice into the pot. Taste and adjust salt or heat with extra laksa paste if needed.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls and top generously with fresh cilantro and Thai basil.
