Singapore Rice Noodles

What are Singapore noodles?

I am sure many of you have tried Singapore style noodles in Chinese/Cantonese restaurants here in the United States.

This noodle recipe do not come from Singapore; if you go to Singapore, you will never find these noodles there.

I believe the dish is a Chinese/Cantonese creation, probably invented by Chinese or Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong or United States.

It’s basically a stir-fried rice noodle dish made of rice vermicelli, curry powder, with chicken, pork, shrimp, vegetables and eggs as the toppings.

      ??

  2. Singaporean Guy says:

    They exist in Singapore and also Malaysia its called ๆ˜Ÿๆดฒ็ฑณ็ฒ‰ or Xin/Sin Chow Bee Hoon. Get rid of the Bell peppers and curry powder and you have a close approximation to the real thing.

    1. KCT3937 says:

      Actually, I had it in KL and not only did it have the curry and peppers, they also had thinly sliced Lap Cheong. I think that there are as many versions of this great dish as there are cooks/chefs,

  3. Kavita says:

    Do you put the noodles in boiling water and let it sit? Or can you boil it for a short period?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Please follow the recipe. Do not boil the noodles.

    Having lived in Singapore I can say it definitely DOES exist in hawkers markets and restaurants.

  5. Angie says:

    I switched oyster sauce for Hoisin sauce for a vegan version, and used maple syrup instead of sugar too. It turned out amazing!
    Thanks for this inspiring recipe! =^.^=
