Singapore Hokkien Mee
A beloved Singaporean noodle dish featuring thick yellow noodles and rice vermicelli stir-fried in a rich, savory prawn broth, often served with sambal chili. The key to its deliciousness lies in the depth of flavor from the prawn stock and the 'wok hei' (breath of the wok) from high-heat stir-frying.

Prepare the prawn stock: In a large pot, combine water, blanched pork bones, dried anchovies, and reserved prawn shells. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour. Strain the stock and set aside.
⏱️ 1 hour - 2
In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until semi-set. Remove from wok and set aside.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the yellow noodles, rice vermicelli, prawns, squid, and pork belly. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Add 2 ladles of prawn stock to the noodles. Stir-fry on high heat until the stock is mostly absorbed. Add fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Stir well.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Add another 2 ladles of prawn stock, cover the wok, and braise on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Add the scrambled eggs, Chinese chives, and bean sprouts to the wok. Toss gently to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chives are wilted and bean sprouts are slightly tender-crisp.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 7
Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges and sambal chili on the side.
