Fishball mee pok dry. Singapore’s local favourite. OMG! I could eat this everyday. It’s the sauce. How do them hawker stalls make it so irresistable? And the smell of the hot fishball soup. My oh my! Usually, I will order mine as Fishball Mee Pok Dry with soup by the side. Kiasu, I know. Mee pok has no relation with the word pork for your info. Mee pok is just the name of the style of the noodles, just like bihun and kway teow. So feel free to change to your favourite noodles. We make the wonton first, ok?
60mins | Serves 4
Wonton Filling:
- 1 cup of small prawns, peeled, diced
- 2 spring onions, diced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbs hoisin sauce (if dont have, soya sauce)

Step 1: Mix all well, set aside for 15 mins. Meanwhile, you can boil the soup.
- 1 pkt wonton wrapper (I prefer the yellow square ones)
- half cup water (for the glue)

Step 2: Fold your wontons. Choose any method from here. Heat up the oil. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
Step 3: Make sure the oil is very hot. Place the wontons in. Turn sides until light brown.
Step 4: Pick it up and drain them aside.
