Prawn Noodles, a wholesome and hearty one dish meal with piping hot broth that will leave you very satisfied.

Prawn Noodles for my mom for dinner. She has been here visiting for more than 6 weeks now and while she has been adventourous and enjoying the many different cuisines Houston has to offer, I reckon she would appreciate a nice hot bowl of "Singapore goodness". It is an extremely satisfying meal idea that has amazing flavors with very little ingredients. A wholesome noodles-in-broth dish for shrimp lovers.

The preparation, while simple, is not for the faint hearted. Hawker stall owners in Singapore actually use prawn shells and heads to get that signature full flavored broth. Some stalls have even gone fancy and included other seafood in this classic dish, such as lobster, crayfish and abalone slices, which we most certainly can replicate as well.
​
I developed this recipe on my own and based it on how I remembered it to taste like. My Godmother also suggested cooking the broth with "Dang Gui" (Chinese Angelica Root). Don't be disheartened by that ingredient, it can be easily found in most Asian supermarkets and it is also not compulsory, should you decide to omit it.
