Description:
The Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles is a Singaporean Chinese Hokkien dish that consists of noodles, served in a soup (wet) or a gravy (dry), garnished with bone-in pork ribs, partially deshelled prawns / shrimp, and vegetables. Also known as Prawn Noodles, Hokkien Soup Noodles, Prawn Mee, or Hae Mee, the Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles dish is usually priced around SGD $4 to $35 per serving. It's a popular dish usually eaten for breakfast or lunch, and can easily be made premium with higher quality ingredients.

The 'wet' version of Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles has all the ingredients served in a robust soup, thin and either clear or cloudy, with robust shrimpy savoury sweet flavour. The prawn soup stock is made from boiling fried prawn heads, fried prawn shells, water, blanched pork bones, garlic, shallots, cloves, white pepper or black pepper, fish sauce, light soy sauce or dark soy sauce, white sugar or brown sugar, salt, and star anise, for up to 1 hour while regularly skimming away impurities. The 'dry' version of Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles still has the prawn soup served separately on the side, but all the ingredients are tossed in a tasty gravy, chunky with savoury salty shrimp spice flavour. The gravy is made from a blend of prawn soup stock, light soy sauce or dark soy sauce, shallot oil, pork lard, red chili powder, and sambal belacan / stir-fried fermented shrimp chili paste.

The Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles usually has a choice of noodles, the most common being chewy yellow wheat flour noodles with grainy sweet flavour, or silky thin rice vermicelli noodles with grainy sweet flavour. The meat and seafood garnishes include tender chewy bone-in pork ribs with meaty savoury flavour, tender soft pork loin slices with meaty savoury flavour, bouncy crunchy partially deshelled prawns / shrimp (either gao chap hei / black tiger prawns, or, ang kar hei / red leg prawn / white prawn) with shrimpy sweet savoury flavour, and optional springy fish cake surimi with sweet salty flavour. The vegetable garnishes include crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour, crunchy kang kong / water spinach leaves with vegetal bitter earthy sweet flavour, and crisp fried shallots with vegetal earthy salty spice flavour.

More premium versions of Prawn And Pork Rib Noodles use varied or gourmet quality ingredients. This can range from stir-frying vegetables such as cabbage to lend added crunch to texture with enhanced smoky vegetal sweet savoury flavour, to using jumbo king prawns with gourmet tender bouncy texture and mild shrimpy sweet savoury flavour, to adding easy-to-eat prawn paste that is springy bouncy in texture with shrimpy sweet savoury flavour.
