In a saucepan with a little oil, briefly fry the garlic together with the ginger and the white part of the spring onion and then add the stock and bring to the boil. Add the minced meat and fish balls and cook for about 2 minutes.
While the soup is boiling, pour hot water over the rice noodles and let stand for 2 - 3 minutes (or according to the instructions on the package), drain, divide into portions and mix with a little sesame oil.
Then add the prawns to the soup, cook briefly until they are cooked and then add the oyster sauce, the pepper and the green part of the spring onion. Take the whole thing off the heat and let it steep a little longer.
Divide the soup into the pasta portions and garnish with a little fresh coriander and fried onions. Optionally serve some fresh chilli (cut into rings) with soy sauce.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
