A festive main course that’s not just visually appealing. Recipe from Singapore.

Thaw frozen goods. If a dark line appears on the back of the prawns, cut them open and remove the intestines. To garnish, blanch the Chinese cabbage leaves for 1 minute and arrange them on two serving plates. For the tomato blossoms, cut off the top ends of the washed tomatoes so that they stand upright. While standing in this position, make 4 cross-shaped cuts from top to bottom, leaving about 1.5 cm free at the bottom. Separate the petals from the core and bend them outwards slightly. Sprinkle the inside with salt and black pepper and place them on the cabbage leaves. Add 2 of the washed grapes to each. Bring the water for the pasta to a boil and dissolve the mushroom stock in it. Add the pasta and cook al dente according to the package instructions. Strain, reserving the pasta and stock. Mix the sauce ingredients until smooth. Bring to a boil and keep warm. Fry the prawns in the garlic butter in a pan over moderate heat until white to light pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Add the shrimp and fry briefly. To serve, spread the noodles on the cabbage leaves and add the shrimp. Drizzle the sauce over the shrimp. Season the shrimp with the spring roll sauce, add the remaining grapes, serve, and enjoy.
