Seafood noodle soup

Last weekend we went to Chinatown looking for some authentic Chinese food and ended up having two meals in the morning. One of the places we went to serves a hot noodle soup with all kinds of seafood in it and Mr R loves it. It looks like to me more of a fridge clean dish as it has all different kinds of ingredients. I suppose Chinese fishman would cook it with fresh catches of the day on a lucky weather day. 
Anyway, I had to recreate this dish at home as Mr R just keeps talking about it all week.

And here's my version.

What you need 
1. one spoon of dried prawns
2. one spoon of dried scallops
3. 4-5 dried mushrooms
4. Fresh veggies
5. Chicken stock (good to have but not essential)
6. Noodles
You can get all the dried goods from most Asian grocery shops. Check out their dried goods shelf.As dried scallops are a bit pricey, they'd mostly keep them at the register.






Steps
1. chop up all the fresh veggies into slices.
2. all dried goods placed into a bowl with warm water for a good 2-3 hours prior to cooking
3. heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan over high heat
4. place all the dried goods into the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute
5. add boiling water into the pan and turn to medium heat for 3-5 minutes 
6. add noodles and when the soup boils again, add a cup of cold water to furthur cook the  noodles (this step will take about 6-8 minutes)
7. add fresh veggies and salt and cook for another 2 minutes

Now you have your super easy & yummy noodle soup! Tada! Enjoy on a chilly winter night.
