Despite being named after Singapore, this recipe was actually born in HK in the 1960s, the time when HK was a British colony. As HK became the transportation hub between Europe and Southeast Asia, lots of cuisines from all over the world started creating sparks in this little island. With influence from the Indian spices, this stir-fried curry rice noodle dish found its way and spread globally. Singapore noodle is a very interesting dish that shows how multicultural Cantonese cooking could be. The curry powder is pleasantly invasive because it works so well on these spindly rice noodles.
???? RECIPE
Ingredients
For the noodles and protein
200 grams of dried rice stick noodle (Amazon Link -
8 cups of boiling water to soak the noodles
70 grams of char siu thinly sliced
150 grams (5.3 oz) of shrimp
A pinch of salt
Some black pepper to taste (Amazon Link -
2 eggs
Vegetables and aromatics
70 grams (2.5 oz) of multi-color bell pepper, cut into strips
42 grams (1.5 oz) of carrot, julienned
42 grams (1.5 oz) of onion, sliced thinly
42 grams (1.5 oz) of bean sprout
28 grams (1 oz) of garlic chive, cut into 1.5 inches long
2 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
For the seasonings
1 tbsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of fish sauce (Amazon Link -
2 tsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of sugar
1-2 tsp of curry powder depending on your taste (Amazon Link -
1 tsp of turmeric powder (Amazon Link -
Instructions
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil then turn off the heat. Soak the rice noodles for 2-8 minutes depending on the thickness. Mine was medium thick and it took about 5 minutes. Do not overcook the noodles, otherwise, they will turn mushy when you stir fry them. You can give it a bite to test it. The noodles should be a little bit chewy at the center.
Remove the noodles from the water and spread them on a cooling rack. Let the rest of the heat helps to evaporate the excess moisture. This is the key to avoid clumpy and sticky noodles. Do not rinse the noodles with cold water as it will bring in too much moisture and make the noodles stick to the wok badly.
SLice the Char sui thinly; Seasoned the shrimp with a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste; Crack 2 eggs and beat them well until you don’t see any obvious egg white; Julienne the bell pepper, carrot, onion and cut the garlic chives into 1.5 inches long.
Before we cooking, thoroughly mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Turn the heat to high and heat your wok until smoking hot. Add a few tbsp of oil and swirl it around to create a nonstick layer. Pour in the egg and wait for it to set. Then break the egg into big pieces. Push the egg to the side so you have room to sear the shrimp. The wok is super hot, it only takes 20 seconds for the shrimp to turn pink. Push the shrimp to the side and toss the char siu for 10-15 seconds over high heat to reactivate the flavor. Take all the proteins out and set them aside.
Add 1 more tbsp of oil to the same wok, along with the garlic, and carrot. Give them a quick stir then add the noodles. Fluff the noodles over high heat for a few minutes.
Add the sauce, along with all the vegetables except for the garlic chives. Introduce the protein back into the wok. Quickly stir to make sure the flavor is well combined. Once you don’t see any white rice noodles, add the garlic chives and give it a final toss.
Before serving, always give it a taste to adjust the flavor. As I mentioned before, different brands of curry powder, curry paste, even soy sauce may vary in sodium level.

BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Easy Chicken Lo Mein Recipe
???? BROWSE MY KITCHENWARE -
❤️ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL -
???? PRINTABLE RECIPE -
This is a perfect recipe for when you come home from work and you got hungry kids to feed. Everything can be ready within 20 minutes. Better and faster than take out. You can also take it to work as lunch because it reheats in the microwave really well. The flavor if impeccable, it is nutty, savory. The chicken is tender and soft. The noodles are very filling but well balanced with the veggies.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb of fresh egg noodles
12.3 oz (350 grams) of chicken breast
1/3 tsp of salt
1/3 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
Black pepper to taste
3 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
1/2 inch of ginger, julienne
4 oz of carrot, julienne
1/2 of a red bell pepper, julienne
5 mushroom, sliced thinly
4 oz of snap peas
5 scallions
To Make The Sauce
1.5 tbsp of Soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp Hoisin sauce (Amazon Link -
1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link -
1/2 tbsp of pure Peanut butter (Amazon Link -
1/2 cup of water
INSTRUCTIONS
Slice the chicken breast thinly. Marinade with garlic, ginger, salt, Chinese cooking wine, black pepper, and baking soda. Baking soda will break down the meat fibers and tenderize the chicken. It will give you that melt in your mouth texture.
Julienne the carrot, bell pepper. Slice the mushroom. Cut the scallions. To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-cut, mixed vegetables from the supermarket.
In a sauce bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients thoroughly. The peanut butter makes the sauce creamier and thicker, helps the flavor to wrap around the ingredients. You have to break up the peanut butter a little bit first so it doesn't clump up.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until 80% done. Drain completely. Do not over cooked the noodles otherwise they will turn soggy when you finish them in the wok with that lomein sauce.
Meanwhile, turn the heat to high and heat your wok until smoking hot. Toss in the marinade chicken and stir for 2 minutes or until it just changes color. Add all the vegetables except for the scallions. continue to stir for 1 minute. Add the well-drained noodles along with the lomein sauce. Keep stirring over medium heat until all the sauce is absorbed. As soon as the sauce is gone, you have to turn off the heat. Otherwise the noodles will start sticking to the wok.
Add the scallions and serve.
