There is a hype on the Claypot Hokkien Mee with Roasted Pork Belly in Toa Payoh and I know it’s my type of hokkien mee. I love my Hokkien Mee to be very saucy. Especially with the rainy cold weather these few days, a piping hot pot of soupy noodle with a burst of umami flavour will be perfect!
Not much time require to make this dish, unless you intend to make your own sio bak (roasted pork belly). This recipe will only focus on the Claypot Hokkien Mee with store-bought Sio Bak.
The quantity of seafood use can be increase based on personal preference.
In order to make this umami pot of noodle, you are required to make a prawn soup base with the prawn shells. I used about 6 pieces of prawns and used their shells for the soup base. The more prawns you used, the more umami-rich your soup base will be.
I used a mixture of both thick rice noodle and hokkien noodle, with a slightly higher proportion of the thick rice noodle. Please adjust based on your personal preference.
If you find that the claypot you had is too small for any stir frying, just use any deep frying pan or wok to cook and transfer to the claypot for the last 10 minutes of simmering. If not, you can totally omit the claypot.
