STORY BEHIND THE RECIPE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Pork and Prawn Macaroni in Homemade Prawn Broth is one of the recipes I keep in my back pocket for days when I am too tired to cook a full meal.<\/p>\n

Most households stock up on dried foodstuff like instant noodles or bee hoon for last minute\u00a0meals, but for me, I always have a ready stock of macaroni because it is a very versatile main meal.<\/p>\n

My Pork and Prawn Macaroni recipe needs only three main ingredients (the rest are just condiments and garnishing)! At the same time,\u00a0it is so satisfying! It’s also kid friendly as kids usually love macaroni, so I used to prepare it for my children’s lunch\u00a0when they were young, and now my grandchildren also have it regularly.<\/p>\n

TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/span><\/h1>\n

For the prawn broth, I always like to keep a ready stock of home-made prawn broth in my freezer. Whenever I devein prawns (see how to devein prawns<\/a>) for other dishes, I always save all the prawn heads and shell\u00a0in the freezer. Once I have accumulated a large quantity of prawn heads and shell, I will make a large batch of prawn broth and store it in the freezer.<\/p>\n

The resulting prawn broth is naturally sweet and flavourful –\u00a0there is no need to add chicken granules or MSG.<\/p>\n

Not only can you use the prawn broth to make a quick and easy meal of Pork and Prawn Macaroni, you can also use the prawn broth to cook fried Hokkien prawn noodles, prawn noodle soup, or as a soup base for fried bee hoon! By making the prawn broth in a large batch, you can save loads of time having to prepare it from scratch every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
