POPS' SINGAPORE NOODLES



Pops' Singapore Noodles image

Chinese restaurants in Europe made this noodle dish famous. It was later introduced to the U.S. in the late 1980s. It is a very refreshing dish with fluffy curried rice noodles mixed with meats and vegetables. Like fortune cookies and chop suey invented in the U.S. but not found in the East, Singapore noodle is not found in Singapore.

1 skinless chicken breast, 1/4-inch strips
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons thin soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Add marinated shrimp and chicken to oil and stir fry quickly for 30 seconds to one minute. Remove shrimp and chicken and set aside. Use same oil to stir fry bean sprouts, peppers and onions. Season and cook for 1 minute and set aside. Wipe out wok and coat well with oil. When oil is smoking hot, add 2 beaten eggs and rotate the pan so as to quickly spread the eggs into a pancake shape. While the egg is still partially fluid, add rice noodles to the wok. Stir and fold noodles and the eggs should be broken up into small pieces and dispersed uniformly. Continue to stir to avoid noodles from sticking to the pan. Add curry powder and check for seasoning. When noodles are steaming hot, add back shrimp, chicken and vegetables to the noodles and continue to mix and stir until everything is steaming hot.

Tips:

  • To save time, buy pre-peeled and deveined shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to stir-fry the shrimp and vegetables. This will help to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
  • Be sure to heat the oil until it is shimmering before adding the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan and cook until they are tender-crisp. Do not overcook, or they will become mushy.
  • Stir in the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles.
