After looking through all of the delicious recipes submitted in our ‘Best Recipe’ contest, We couldn’t wait to try them out on our own.
Today, we’ll be sharing the first winning #EatWell recipe: Prawn Noodles. Tasty and well-loved, Prawn Noodles is a dish many Singaporeans are willing to queue at the hawker centre for. This recipe is courtesy of @blurry.yck, who considers Prawn Noodles one of her favourite local food. She also believes that a lot of effort has to be put into a good broth, but the resulting taste would make it all worthwhile.
Here’s how you can skip the queue by making your own Prawn Noodles at home.
