¼ cup peanut oil
6 to 8 shelled and cleaned prawns
1 teaspoon ginger minced
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 teaspoon chilli minced
1/3 cup spring onions sliced
2 Tbs crushed peanuts
1 dash sweet soy (kecap manis)
1 dash oyster sauce
Squeeze of lemon juice
Handful of Bean shoots
1 cup of coriander chopped
4 large free range eggs, whisked
Butter for frying
Salt and pepper

Cook noodles in boiling water for a few mins and then rinse in cold water
Whisk eggs with salt & pepper to have it ready.
Heat oil in a wok.
Add prawns and fry for about 1 minute. Then add ginger, garlic and chilli and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn.
Add spring onions and peanuts and fry for another minute
Add soy, oyster, lemon juice, noodles, bean shoots, and coriander and toss to heat through
Melt butter in large pan and pour in beaten eggs and swirl the pan till the eggs evenly reach the edges. Cook over medium heat for about 1 min, until lightly golden underneath.
