Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles

We love Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles but when we eat this outside, we always eat it on it's own and there are not much greens in it.  So I try to replicate this at home but incorporated more veggies.  Instead of using chives, I usually replaced it with spring onions/chye sim (cai xin/choysum). So it's not so authentic but I don't really care as long as my family gets to eat some greens ;-)

You may adjust the stock used according.  I prefer my noodle to be more "soupy" whereas DH likes it dry so I had to cook his portion separately.
