Prawn Mee Soup

I apologized for not crediting this as I can't recall which magazine I have cut it out from ;-)

Ingredients:
600 gm prawns
2 tbsps oil
4 l water
600 gm pork ribs
300 gm lean pork
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsps light soy sauce
2 tbsps dark soy sauce
Fresh yellow noodles
Bean sprouts
Kang kong (water convolvulus)

Method:
Wash and drain the prawns. Remove the head and fry with the 2 tbsps of oil till the shells turn red. Set aside
Cook the unshelled prawns in the 4 l of water. Remove when cooked and shell. Return the shells into the stock and add the pork, ribs and seasoning into the stock. Simmer over a low flame for about 1 1/2 hrs.
Strain the soup. Return the ribs to the soup and slice the pork. Cook the desired amount of noodles, bean sprouts and kang kong in boiling water. Strain and pour the prawn soup over noodles. Serve with prawns, pork ribs and sliced pork. Garnish with crispy shallots and sliced red chillies
