Making Prawn Mee Soup; Another Failure!

For dinner on Sunday, I had planned to use the prawns that I had beheaded, peeled, and deveined on Friday, and cook them in a Best Singapore Favourites Ready-to-Cook Sauce Kit for Prawn Mee Soup. The kit gave step-by-step instructions on how to cook and serve the soup.  It also contained several flavor packets to use in the preparation.  I followed the instructions, with the only exception being that I may have used a little more thinly sliced pork than the recipe described.  I am still getting used to grams and kilos, and I bought 500 grams of thinly sliced pork, when I really only needed 50 grams of pork.  I realized my mistake before I added it, but I still used a little more, because Rich likes pork.

I served it in soup bowls, over the leftover spaghetti noodles that I had from Friday.  It was not a fan favorite!!!  I don't know if I should have used the prawns sooner, or if I stored them improperly, or if the sauce mix and seasonings are just not to our taste.  Luckily, I served it with big salads as accompaniment, so we didn't starve.  Oh well, at least I tried...
