Sharing this old school soup. The anchovies and dried prawns make the soup taste so sweet after boiling for a short 10 - 15 mins. And adding in glass vermicelli gives a fuller stomach. Even if you are not serving this with rice and other dishes, you can eat this alone as a glass noodle soup by itself.
