Steps:

Garnish with clusters of cilantro and basil, sprinkle the remaining sprouts over the top and serve immediately.

LAKSA FLAVOURED PRAWNS/SHRIMP AND HOKKIEN NOODLES
Came across a file pre ZAAR/Food.com days with some recipes I had Photostatted obviously to try or had tried - this one we tried in March 2005 and I had commented "Very Nice Indeed", so I am now saving it here. All I know is that it is page 16 of a cookbook, don't know which one though. Times and servings sizes are estimated.
