2. Add the oil to a large pot on medium-high. When hot, add the bumbu mixture and cook for 3 minutes, stirring throughout.
3. Then add the potatoes, water, and bouillon. Cook covered at a simmer 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, add the oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the mock chicken and cook for 3 minutes.
5. Then add the garlic and shallot, and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes.
6. Add the 'chicken' spice mix. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring throughout. Set aside.
7. When the potatoes are cooked, add the chicken to the pot, along with the coconut milk. Cook until heated through.
8. Meanwhile, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. For us, the noodles simply needed to sit in boiling water for 3 minutes.
9. Add the noodles to a bowl, and ladle the soup over top. Garnish, and enjoy!
Notes
* Add more oil or a small splash of water as needed if the mixture won't blend.
