How to cook

Prepare the mee tai mak.

In a wok, lightly fry the prawns with oil. Remove from pan and set aside.
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the mee tai mak before draining it. Set aside to cool down in a bowl of iced water.

Fry the mee tai mak.

In the same wok, add in the thinly sliced shallots. Fry until the shallots are infused with the oil and crispy. Remove the shallots and set aside, reserving 1 tbsp of shallot oil for later. Now, add in the minced dried shrimp and sliced shiitake mushrooms to fry. Add in the minced pork.
Fry the minced pork together with the rest of the ingredients until there isn't any residual liquid in the wok. Once done, remove everything from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add in the reserved shallot oil. Cook the drained mee tai mak and add in the rest of the cooked ingredients back into the wok.
Stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Lastly, add the prawns and mix thoroughly.
