Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves over medium heat.

Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavors, stirring occasionally.

Strain the coconut milk mixture to remove solids and return the liquid to the pan.

Add fish sauce and sugar to the strained coconut milk, stirring until dissolved.

Prepare the serving bowls by placing a portion of noodles in each bowl.

Ladle the coconut milk mixture over the noodles generously.

Top with bean sprouts, cucumber slices, fresh basil, mint, and crushed peanuts.

Serve with lime wedges and chili on the side for added flavor.
