Penang Hokkien Mee / Prawn Mee 槟城福建虾面

After collected enough prawn's head and shells, time to cook a good bowl of prawn noodles from scratch. I have posted this recipe long time ago but it was not in detail. This time I improve my old recipe especially the stock.



 
This time i added jicama or yambean into the stock, which give natural sweetness, this bowl of good stock has no MSG at all...


 
then you have to prepare sambal chili paste

 
add few spoon of sambal chili paste into the stock to give spiciness!

 
in the same work, stir fry fresh shrimps, added some sambal chili paste, you have to cook the shrimps over high heat in order to get crunchy prawns.
 

 
Also prepare some crispy shallots, don't know how to get crispy shallots, check recipe here.



 
using the Rooster bowl to serve, give authentic feel to this noodles, yum!

Sonia, who wouldn't drool over your bowl of Hokkien Mee. I would give anything to have a bowl now. So clever, adding jicama to your soup. Thanks for sharing.

Kimmy said...

Hi Sonia, your Penang Hokkien Mee preparation is quite different from mine. I don't fry the prawn shells. This is my family's favourite noodle. We ate a big, big bowl each time when we cooked this at home. My relatives request that we cook this during CNY when all came visiting.
