Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle (revised post) March 2024 

This dish is my baby, no. 3rd kid's favourite. I am cooking this because she was home for term break. Despite her  break, her very busy schedules, only allows her home for a decent meal half the time..😰

Thus, I seized every golden opportunity to cook for her and just hoping she will be able to 'whack' down at least 2 plates 😁😁 ..She did because she was famished..😅😅

Here it goes, I had used a new sauce this round (as shown in picture)..Fried Hokkien Noodle Sauce from Prima Taste..

Here's the ingredients

400g yellow noodles

2 pieces of instant bee hoon (soaked in cold water)
