Spicy Malaysian Prawn Mee Goreng

Prepare the noodles: If using fresh yellow noodles, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sambal oelek, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Cook the prawns: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are almost cooked through. Remove the prawns from the wok and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Combine and stir-fry: Add the blanched noodles and the prepared sauce to the wok. Stir-fry vigorously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

Add vegetables and prawns: Return the cooked prawns to the wok. Add the bean sprouts and chopped chives. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp and the prawns are fully cooked.

Serve immediately: Transfer the Malaysian Spicy Prawn Mee Goreng to serving plates and enjoy hot.
