Prawn noodles with pork ribs by Angela Seah Thulin


Living in a cold country such as Sweden, having hot soup is something i really wish for. Prawn is one of my favorite types of seafood. So - soup + prawn = Prawn noodle soup! 

I have a hard time accumulating my prawn shells and it usually takes me months to have enough for just one meal (there was even once that i had to accumulate for 9 months!). 

Why add pork ribs, you might ask? It enhances the flavour and makes for a heartier meal.
