Preparation

In a saucepan, heat the oil and dried garlic. Add the prawn heads and shells. Stir briefly.

Add 6 cups of water, the stock cube, sugar, salt and MSG. Bring to the boil and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Strain the stock and remove the prawn heads and shells.

Place the pan back on the heat and add the pork meat and bones. Cook until the meat is just cooked.

Remove the meat and bones. Cut the meat into slices and return to the soup. Cook for a further 20 minutes.

In a separate saucepan scald the noodles in boiling water. Drain, and place 1/3 of the noodles each into 3 deep soup bowls.

Place the egg, prawns, pork and lettuce on top of the noodles.

Pour the soup mixture over the top.

To serve, add 2-3 tsp of sambal and briefly stir.
