Cooking Idea: Bak Kut Teh Prawn Noodles
This is my lazy, cheater’s way of making steaming hot bowl of hawker-style Bak Kut Prawn Noodles, as inspired by tigerfish’s Soba in Bak Kut Teh soup. I simply use a packet of Bak Kut Teh spice (you can use any favourite brand) to cook for 2 persons (about 300g of spare ribs, garlic cloves and dark soy sauce). When the soup is ready, I added 6 large prawns and fish cake slices in the broth to cook for a few minutes. Toss in some noodles (I used a mixture of yellow and white noodles which has been blanched in boiling water) and local lettuce in a bowl and pour the bak kut teh together with the bak kut, prawns and fish cake over. Voila! – a nice bowl of cheater’s home-made Bak Kut Prawn noodles.
Easy pesy, and a nice change if you are bored of serving Bak Kut Teh the usual, heavenly way :)

Hi, my first time here…thanks for bringing me!
This is quite the authentic dish. It looks hearty and warming. I would love to cook something like this for my family and friends!
Wah, salivating liao! Looks delicious!
A feast for my eyes!
Yours looked soooo alluring!! Whoa!
Btw, I have added you to my ‘special’ blogroll. Only meant for favourites.. Would you add me, too? :D
Cheaters+Bah Kut Teh=Major Love! Throw in the prawns, and I’m leaving my Carbonara. Great submission. I’ve been meaning to submit something to Pasta Presto for ages, but never seem to get down to it.
Question:
Whenever I make bah kut teh from the packet, it always seems less potent ( ‘kau’ – are you Malaysian?) than at the shops. Any idea why?
Oh my Goodness! How does one not drool at just looking at the pictures! I”m coming over…
*Slurp noodles* off the screen. The addition of prawns and fish cake really make the bak kut teh extra yummy!
Do you like it? If you don’t feel like eating rice, this is one way to enjoy – the noodles with the soup, just like how Japanese enjoy their ramen in pork bones broth essence. Love your presentation. Can sell your noodles in claypot already. So professional!

That looks so good! I am going to have to look for some full prawns at the store.
What a glorious looking dish. Thanks so much for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights. Now I just have to wait for a day cool enough to eat some.
Thanks!

I like your brand of mathematics. It’s so much more delicious than what I learned at school!
