halal hokkien prawn noodles
i love mee yoke or har mee or hokkien prawn noodles. i may be malay, but i prefer the chinese version. i used to eat them everyday during my high school years at sri aman. if i don't have enough money, i'll just slurp the soup for 50 cents and i am happy. it tasted more savoury. the broth is simple but pure. and with the sambal, it is heavenly.
condiments hard boiled eggs shredded chicken (boil in the broth) prawns (boil in the broth) blanched taugeh blanched kangkung/water spinach egg noodles fried onions
ingredients for sambal 1 handful dried chilli 1 handful dried prawns 2 shallots 1/2 bulb of garlic lots of oil
ingredients for the broth prawn shells (i used 5 small lunch plastic bags. increase if you want stronger taste of prawns) bones of 1 chicken 2 chicken filets rock sugar salt 1.5 liter water
to prepare sambal boil the dried chilli till soft. 5 mins before that add in the dried prawns to soften them blend the dried chilli, dried prawns, shallots and garlic into a paste fry the mixture in a lot of oil until the chilli turns dark red remove the sambal from the oil
to prepare the broth fry the prawn shells in the leftover oil from the sambal and remove from oil boil the water and place the chicken bones and fried prawn shells. leave it to boil for 5 hours (or longer) season with salt and rock sugar add the chicken filets and prawn to cook shred chicken prepare the bowl with condiments. serve with sambal
enjoy!
