Prawn Mee Soup

I used the Prima Taste Prawn Mee Sauce Kit to cook the prawn stock. But I have grinded some prawn shell (which i have collected and stored in the freezer) and stir fried for one minute before adding water and the premix prawn stock. Add soy sauce for taste. Remember to filter off the prawn shell before serving.
 
As I have added too much water so the soup is not so tasty. So remember to add the water gradually to suit your taste bud. Ingredients added is up to your liking.
 
Prima Taste Prawn Mee Sauce Kit Pack consist of the following which serves 3 - 4 portions:-
  • Prawn Stock Mix
  • Prawn Mee Chilli Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Fried Shallot & Oil

I am using the Hai's mee rebus premix to cook the gravy soup with chicken stock. I boiled the chicken thigh till cooked and soften and shredded the meat and cook in the gravy soup to get the soup more flavoured with some chicken taste. And I also added more flavour of soybean paste and chilli paste to get the taste better.
