Ingredients

• ½ cup bacon (thin slices)
• 4 cloves garlic (bruised)
• 2 coriander root
• 5 oz dry glass noodles
• 2 tbsp ginger (thin strips)
• 1 lb prawns
• 1 handful Chinese celery (roughly chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the sauce: Stir together the water, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, golden mountain sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper in a bowl.

2. 2

   Soak the noodles: Soak the glass noodles in water until softened but still slightly firm. Drain well.

3. 3

   Cook the aromatics: In a pot or deep skillet with a lid, cook the bacon until the fat renders out. Add the garlic and coriander root and cook until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add noodles and sauce: Add the soaked noodles to the pot and pour the sauce over them. Toss lightly so the noodles are evenly coated.

   Layer the prawns: Arrange the ginger slices over the noodles, then place the prawns on top in a single layer. Add the Chinese celery and green onions on top.

6. 6

   Steam and serve: Cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through and the noodles have absorbed the sauce. Serve hot.
