Best Singapore Noodles Recipe
Rice noodles are not only a specialty snack in southern China, but also popular in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Singapore noodles are a common dish found in Hong Kong and overseas Chinatowns. Despite their name, Singapore noodles did not originate from Singapore; they are actually an adapted version that incorporates local curry flavors.
INGREDIENTS
- 300g rice noodles
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the ingredients: Wash and cut 100g of char siu, 100g of Chinese chives, 50g of onion, 30g of green and red chili peppers, and 20g of green onions. Also, wash 100g of bean sprouts and 100g of shrimp, and set them aside for later use.
Pre-treating the rice noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and stir in 300g of rice noodles, making sure to separate them. Cook for three minutes (starting from when the water boils), then immediately remove and let them cool.
Tip:
For a dry and textured consistency when stir-frying, it's best not to boil the noodles for more than three minutes to avoid them becoming too soft and fragile.
Season the cooled rice noodles by adding 5g of salt, 10g of soy sauce, and 30g of curry sauce. Mix well with chopsticks until evenly combined.
Heat the pan and add 20g of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the shrimp briefly until cooked through, then set them aside on a plate.
Beat two eggs and add 3g of salt. Scramble the eggs until cooked, then set aside for later use.
Heat the pan until smoking hot and add 30g of vegetable oil. Quickly stir-fry the prepared vegetables, adding 5g of salt, until they are just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside for later use.
Tip:
Use high heat and stir quickly to ensure the vegetables are cooked just right without releasing too much moisture.
Heat the pan again until hot and add 30g of vegetable oil. Then, add the pre-treated rice noodles to the pan and stir-fry them.
After stir-frying the rice noodles until fragrant, first add the scrambled eggs, char siu, and shrimp. Stir-fry them evenly. Then, add the prepared vegetables and chopped green onions. Stir-fry everything together until well combined.
Once everything is stir-fried thoroughly, it's ready to be served.
