Prawn Mee or Hokkien Mee, is noodles in a lovely prawn-based soup, accompanied with prawns, thin slices of pork, half a hard-boiled egg, kangkong and bean-sprouts; garnished with crispy fried shallots and topped with chilli paste. To get the ‘prawny’ taste, stock is made from boiling prawn heads and shells (which may or may not be pre-fried) . After straining off the solid bits, pork ribs and chilli paste are added to the clear simmering stock; that accounts for the specks of chilli oil in the soup. Equally as important is the chilli paste. Usually made from dried chilli, a dollop adds ‘oomph’ to this delectable dish.
