I just made this for dinner last night with some teriyaki chicken leftovers – so good! Huge hit with the kids.

They exist in Singapore and also Malaysia its called 星洲米粉 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.
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,
Do you put the noodles in boiling water and let it sit? Or can you boil it for a short period?
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.
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! =^.^=
