Been wanting to cook prawn noodle since I learnt from DrB way back in January that you can actually get a paste to make it. So when I got back on Sat, I thought I shall be nice to my flatmates and make them something since they have been cooking for me during my exams.
To make prawn noodles you need a good stock, good prawns and other accompaniments like boiled pork, some fish cake, veggies and some freshly prepared prawn stock. The place to get them is to go to a chinese supermarket.
Ingredients
---------------
1 Packet Tean's Prawn paste 2.20pd
6 Big White king Prawn 5.00pd (super expensive Grr!! but damm nice man)
10 Small EC3 Fresh Prawn 2.30pd
Pork Belly 300g 1.00pd

We had 3 big bowls with full of ingredients. Each bowl cost about 6 pounds. Asia style sells a bowl like this for 6.50 pounds i think but u definately get lesser ingredients but on the up side you don have to labour yourself in the kitchen.. Also there were left over ingredients to make 2 more medium bowls of of prawnless prawn noodle the next day for lunch. The big prawns definately taste much bettter and we each managed to eat 2 plus about 3-4 other small prawns. In summary, definately worth the effort and is on the cost effective side.
Try it ya'all!.
