A Used Lamb Bone

Things to do with a used roast lamb bone
I made Mee Rebus which is Hokkien mee with a gooey sauce.

A used bone from a roast lamb, bits of meat remaining would be nice
2 sweet potatoes...mashed
2 spoons of miso paste, mashed with a pinch of sugar
Spice paste of 4 garlic, 1 onion and 1cm ginger
(handful of dried prawns pounded to powder)
(teaspoon of belachan powder, or inch of the genuine article)
some curry powder

Garnish:
cucumber, alfafa sprouts, hard tofu, hard boiled egg, fresh green chillies

Boil the bone to make a good stock. Add pepper and salt. Add in a few slices of galangal.

Remove bone. Fry spice paste. Add the powdered dried prawns. Add the miso paste. Mix well. Add the belachan powder and the curry powder.  Add this to the stock and boil for about 10 minutes or however you like it. Stir in the mashed sweet potato. Mix it well... simmer for 10 minutes and that’s it. The gooey sauce is done. If not gooey enough, thicken it with cornflour.

Blanch hokkien noodles in hot, boiling water. Remove. Slice cucumbers, tear up whatever bits of meat leftover from the used bone, chop up tofu, slice up egg, cut the chillies... spoon gooey sauce over noodles and top with garnish.
