4. Add the prawns and simmer for a further 3 minutes until cooked through.Season the stock to taste with freshly ground black pepper or more tamari sauce, if you like.
5. To 4 bowls add the noodles (cooked as per packet instructions), the egg halves, sliced spring onions, sweetcorn, carrot and coriander. Then pour over the flavoured stock to serve.
