Hokkien Mee
Hokkien Mee is my husband's favourite hawker dish and I have been wanting to cook it at home with the freshest and best ingredients. So, I finally did it today and he loved it! Now, he is lamenting that he has one less dish to eat outside as I have raised his expectation on Hokkien Mee. Hilarious!
Ingredients:
- 500g fresh prawns, peeled (set aside the heads and shells)

1) In a pot, add a little vegetable oil. Fry half the garlic and shallots until fragrant. Add prawn heads and shells and fry until pink. Add chicken cube, white pepper corns, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 4 bowls of water. Boil for at least 30 minutes.
2) Remove the prawn heads and shells. Take turn to boil pork belly, prawns and squid separately in the prawn broth until just cooked.
3) Set the cooked prawns, squid and pork belly aside. Slice the pork belly into thin slices.
