Claypot Prawn Noodle(砂锅虾面)

claypot prawn noodles

This dish is so easy to prepare, does not need you to boil and boil a prawn stock or save up prawn heads, but it tastes so good, I have never failed to get good comments from every single person who has tasted it.

The most valuable thing about this claypot prawn noodle is that it takes about 5 minutes to prepare. That’s probably how much time we take to make instant noodles, but tastes ten times better and probably a hundred times healthier. You can use instant noodles, or fresh noodles or frozen noodles and even home made noodles. I have tried it on every kind of alkaline or egg noodle or yellow noodle.
