Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g vermicelli rice noodles
1 tbsp mild curry powder
¼ tsp turmeric
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2½ tbsp low-salt soy sauce
1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
1 onion , sliced

200g beansprouts
1 red chilli , sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the kettle and put the noodles in a large pan or bowl. Pour over enough boiled water to cover, pushing the noodles under the water to help them soften evenly. Set aside for 5-10 mins, until the noodles are completely soft. Mix the curry powder, turmeric, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and 1 tbsp water in a bowl.
  • Heat the wok until very hot. Add the sunflower oil, onion and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 mins until softened and starting to brown in places. Drain the noodles and add to the pan, along with the sauce mixture and beansprouts. Stir-fry for a further 3-4 mins, tossing everything through the sauce, until hot. Adjust the seasoning with a little more soy or sugar, if you like, and scatter over the chilli, if you like more spice.

3 tablespoons peanut oil

Steps:

  • Soak the dried rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl of cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and cut in half with kitchen shears.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients and organize your mise en place. For this dish, you need to have everything ready to go before you start to cook.

  • Cut the onion into thin slices and halve the shrimp lengthwise. Add them to the plate with the meats and chiles.
  • Cut the scallions into 1-inch-long batons and transfer to a plate. Peel the carrot and cut it into matchsticks; add them to the plate. Thinly slice the cabbage crosswise to yield 2 cups and transfer to the plate.

Tips:

  • For the best texture, use fresh rice noodles. If using dried rice noodles, be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
  • To make the rice noodles more flavorful, you can rinse them in cold water before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the noodles absorb the sauce better.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead.
  • Be sure to heat the wok or skillet over high heat before adding the noodles. This will help prevent them from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the noodles for only a few minutes, until they are just heated through. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the sauce to the noodles and stir-fry for another minute or two, until the noodles are evenly coated.
  • Serve the rice noodles immediately, topped with your favorite garnishes.

Singapore rice noodles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its savory sauce and variety of toppings, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give Singapore rice noodles a try!
