WHERE ARE SINGAPORE NOODLES FROM
As the name say’s it, they are said to have originated in Singapore, Hong Kong.
However today, despite its name. Some would argue that Singapore noodles are not solely from Singapore! Confusing eh?
Well not really, since Singapore is known to be the hub of many cultures.
Many of their dishes today have been influenced by many different types of foreigners over the centuries.
And so today you can find many different types of dishes eaten in Singapore.
These noodles are now well known worldwide, and are eaten by all types of people.
WHAT’S SINGAPORE NOODLES
Singapore noodles are made with vermicelli rice noodles and bunch of seasonings. It is known for it’s sweet & savory curry flavor that has hints of garlic, ginger and onions.
Which are all simmered in a chicken broth stock along with soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil.
I tried Singapore noodles for the first time a few years back and have been addicted ever since.
Some are made with shrimp, chicken or chinese style pork, while others are vegetarian.
I made mine with eggs today which work fantastic too.

Such as shrimp, chicken, pork or beef.

Yes, just make sure that you are cooking the eggs fresh again or whatever meat you choose to add.

SPICY SINGAPORE NOODLES
I like to spice this dish up by adding in 1 tbsp of red chili paste, however you can omit that if you prefer a less spicer dish.
HOW TO MAKE SINGAPORE NOODLES
Place the vermicelli rice noodles in a large pot and cover with chicken stock and bring to a boil, turn down the heat and let the noodles soak till soft.
Remove the cooked vermicelli noodles and set aside.
Wash your carrots and green onions and then julienne the carrots carefully with a knife and chop the onions then set those aside.
Meanwhile whisk together in a small bowl 2 tbsp of curry powder, sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger, soya sauce and red chili sauce.
Then add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to your wok along with the sliced onion and saute for one mixture then remove.
In the same wok ad 1 tbsp of oil again and scramble the eggs then set aside.
Add the julienned carrots into the pan/wok and all the other ingredients along with the “liquid sauce” mixture.
Stir fry till all the vegetables are soft yet crispy.
Toss back in the strained vermicelli noodles,
Sautéing till hot.
Top with fresh cilantro or green onions. Enjoy!
MORE TIPS:
- You will want to start by scrambling the eggs first and then soaking the vermicelli noodles after in hot water.
- Preparing the vegetables ahead of time is a good idea too, I used carrots so I just julienne them.
- Feel like adding chicken, pork or shrimp, go ahead it’s amazing too! Just make sure you are cooking that separately, then adding it to the cooked vermicelli noodles.
- The varieties of vermicelli rice noodles are endless, so choose your favorite brand and let’s get to cooking this delicious recipe!
- You may want to add more soya sauce near the end, stir everything together well and taste before adjusting the flavor.

A hit in our household! We typically order this dish from our local Asian restaurant but I guess this will be one less dish to order ☺️I added chicken, shrimp, celery and broccoli.
Yum that sounds great! thanks for the review!
This is my favorite dish. I have tried many recipes but couldn’t get the right taste. This is the best recipe I have found for Singapore Noodle. I am going to try many of your recipes as they look delicious. Have you ever tried 5 spice for this noodle dish? It adds alot to this dish. Thank you.
Hi Michelle, I am not a fan of 5 spice to be honest. However I’m pleased to hear you love this recipe!
