  4. In each serving bowl, combine the noodle seasoning ingredients (including the prawn fat oil) and set aside.

  5. In the pot of boiling water, cook shrimp or fish balls and blanche the veggie of your choice until mostly tender and bright green. Set aside.

  6. Cook the egg noodles (one portion at a time) in the same boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately add to each both and toss to coat in the seasoning.
