Instructions
  1. Heat pot. Add 1 teaspoon of oil when pot is hot.
  2. Add ½ of the minced garlic when oil is hot. Fry till fragrant.
  3. Add pork and fry for a minute.
  4. Add prawns and fry till they just turn pink (about 80% cooked). If too dry, add about 2 tablespoons water/stock.
  5. Dish out the prawns and pork. Set aside.
  6. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and fry the remaining garlic till fragrant.
  7. Add the baby corn and carrot and fry for a minute.
  8. Add the leafy vegetables. Once vegetable starts to wilt, add in the bee hoon and the stock and bring to a rolling boil.
  9. Meanwhile, either panfry the fishcake (whole) or airfry it for 8 minutes at 180degC (no need to add oil for air frying).
  10. Once the stock has started boiling, simmer till the bee hoon is cooked through.
  11. Add the fishballs if you are including it at this point. Once they float, they are cooked.
  12. Add the beaten egg (add it in in a swirling motion around the pot). Do not stir till egg has set.
  13. Lastly return the prawns and pork to the pot.
  14. Add salt to taste.
