singapore style chicken noodles |Singapore Rice Noodles


Singapore-style noodles  is a dish of stir-fried rice vermicelli seasoned with curry powder, bean sprouts, pak choi, soy sauce, and sliced chilli peppers.


 



It is served as a vegetarian dish or can be accompanied by small slices of chicken,egg, beef, char siu pork, and/or prawns.


I made this dish with normal hakka noodles as i didnt find singapore noodles here.i have used chicken along with veggies

The dish appears on the menu of almost all Chinese-style (mainly Cantonese-style) eateries in Hong Kong, and is also very popular in English, Australian, Canadian and American Chinese cuisine.



It is not found in any authentic Singaporean restaurant, cafe.
It’s a spicy, simple, easy to make weeknight supper .Chopping the veggies and chicken is the most time consuming part of making this whole dish – the cooking time is actally pretty fast.
If you plan to make this on a weeknight, prep the veg and chicken the night before and put everything in the fridge.  That way when you get home, you can just toss everything in the wok and eat in no time.
