The slices of dried fresh shrimps as main ingredients/garnishing with slices of lean pork meat, kangkung (water spinach), bean sprouts and crisp deep-fried shallots. It must be served with piping hot soup which is made up of the combination of pork stock and shrimp stock. The soup is semi clear with light flavor of shrimps together with the sweetness from the combination of two(2) stocks. If you want the Classic Hokkien Mee (Hokkien Prawn Noodles) to be spicy then just add a few table spoons of chilly paste to it. Well, for me i prefer it to be spicy but not to be burning hot to numb my poor tongue.
