Direcciones
- 1. Grind the dried chillies in a paste and put aside
- 2. Prepare the mee siam sauce by grinding the dried prawns, candlenuts, shallots, garlic and belachan (add more if you like more heat) in a blender, adding oil if necessary to keep the blades turning
- 3. Prepare the prawns and quail eggs and set aside
- 4. Heat the oil over a medium heat and stir fry the paste for about 5 mins. Add the peanuts, black bean paste and sugar and stir fry for another minute. Add the prawn stock, tamarind juice, lemon grass and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and allow it to simmer gently, uncovered for 5 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside
- 5. Heat the oil and stir fry 3 tbsp of chilli paste for about 1 min. Then add the drained noodles and stir fry to coat the noodles so they take a red colour
- 6. To serve, divide the noodles into 4 serving bowls. Top the noodles with bean sprouts, fried tofu, prawns and eggs. Ladle the hot sauce over. Place lime halves at the side
