Step 1
Boil noodles until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and spread on paper towels to dry.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry half the noodles in a nest until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining noodles.
Step 3
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Stir in curry paste for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk and broth. Bring to a simmer, then add chicken and stir to combine, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Divide crispy noodles between two bowls. Ladle curry and chicken over the top.
Step 6
Top with fresh bean sprouts and serve immediately while noodles are still crispy.
