• Then add in the prawns, followed by the beaten egg. Once it starts to simmer add in the cornflour mixture until the entire stock has thicken (it should look a bit gooey). Finally add in the green vegetables and spring onion.
• Season stock with a drizzle of sesame oil and pinch of white pepper. If required, add soya sauce to taste.
• Put crispy noodle on a plate and then place into the microwave. Set your microwave to high grill for 30 seconds.
  
• Take noodle out to taste if it's cripsy and warm. If not, high grill it for another 15 seconds. (Your grilling time will depend on the microwave capacity).
• If you don't have a microwave, you would need to do quickly deep fry the noodles in a pot of very hot oil until it turns golden brown and is crispy.
• To serve pour the gravy directly onto the crispy noodle and serve with deep fried shallots and sliced red chillies.
