Method

1.  Soak glass noodles in room temperature water for about 10 to 15 min until soft. Transfer soften glass noodles into a big bowl.

3.  Prepare the sauce.  Pour the sauce over the noodles and prawns and give it a toss to allow noodles and prawns to absorb the sauce.

4.  Cook prawns in a claypot or wok.  Remove prawns from heat once they turn orange.  

5.  Using the same claypot or wok, sautee garlic, ginger, cliantro stems until fragrant.  Add pepper

6.  Add glass noodles and half the amount of sauce.  Give it a little stir and cover wok with a lid for about 1 to 2 min.

7. Add prawns and the rest of the sauce.  Top with spring onions and some cliantro.  Cover the lid for 1 to 2 mins.  Serve hot.
