Vegetarian Singapore Noodles Recipes

EASY SINGAPORE NOODLES

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.

• In a large bowl, cover vermicelli noodles with boiling water, cook for 2 minutes or according to package directions. Drain, roughly cut into smaller pieces with scissors. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tsp of canola oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add eggs, scramble until fully cooked and lightly brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Wipe pan clean.
• Return pan to stovetop over high heat, add remaining oil, onion, bell pepper and salt. Cook until softened, and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Add snow peas, garlic, curry powder and turmeric, cook another minute. The mixture will feel quite dry.
• Add water to loosen the spices (if it still feels dry, add another tablespoon of water). Cook another 2 minutes.
• Add reserve noodles and egg (if using), using tongs, toss to coat rice noodles in the spices. Remove from heat, toss with soy sauce, sesame oil and bean sprouts, until each noodle is coated and bright yellow.

SINGAPORE NOODLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to boil on the stove for the rice noodles.
• Make the Singapore Noodle Sauce, stirring the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set by the stove.
• Prep the veggies: slice the onion, slice the bell pepper and chop the garlic, placing all by the stove, along with the carrots and snow peas.
• Pat dry the chicken/tofu and cut into ¾ inch cubes. ( If using shrimp, leave whole) Heat oil in a wok, over medium heat and add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt directly into the oil. Swirl and add cracked pepper if you like, and when the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken/tofu/shrimp. Using a metal spatula, stir, flip and let it get golden, being patient. Place on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Whisk the two eggs with a 3 finger pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set by the stove.
• Add the onion to the wok and stir 3 minutes, on medium-high heat, until fragrant, then add carrots, bell pepper and snow peas and garlic. Continue stirring for just a couple minutes, until just wilted. Make a well in the center of the veggies, and add a drop of oil, then pour in the eggs, scrambling them and chopping them up a bit with the metal spatula. Incorporate them into the veggies, then slide the whole veggie egg mixture onto a plate, setting aside.
• Place the noodles in the boiling water, turn heat off, and let stand 3-4 minutes before draining ( OR read directions on the package, every noodle brand is different) Drain when they are al-dente. Using kitchen scissors, cut the noodles into thirds or fourths (cutting is important!) and fluff them up a bit, pulling them apart with a fork or tongs.
• Add 1-2 teaspoons oil to the wok, then add the cooked noodles and stir fry them a bit, over medium heat about 2-3 minutes, letting them soften a bit. Add the whole dried chilies, stirring 1 minute.
• Spread the noodles out as best you can in the wok and slide the cooked veggies and seared chicken/ tofu/ shrimp back into the wok and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon curry powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon turmeric and toss and stir until everything is evenly coated.
• Pour the Singapore Noodle Sauce into the noodles. It will smell fishy at first but this will disappear. Toss and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until noodles are almost dry. Taste, adjust salt and heat. Add chili flakes for more spicy. More salt if it tastes bland. Serve right away. Leftovers are delicious too.
• This is a dry-style, Chinese Noodle dish, not meant to be saucy. ????

VEGAN SINGAPORE NOODLES

Steps:

• See notes if adding tofu!
• Add rice noodles to a large bowl and cover completely with boiling water. Let cook for 5-10 minutes (or according to package instructions), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain and set aside.
• In the meantime, make the sauce by adding minced garlic, tamari or soy sauce, maple syrup or coconut sugar, and lime juice to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You're going for a savory-tart sauce with a bit of sweetness (adjust to taste). Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) toasted sesame oil (adjust amount if altering number of servings), onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onion is soft and translucent.
• Add snow peas, 1 Tbsp (15 ml) tamari or soy sauce (adjust amount if altering number of servings), and curry powder, and stir. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then remove from pan and set aside.
• To the still-hot skillet, add remaining 1 Tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil (adjust amount if altering number of servings), cooked rice noodles, and sauce. Sauté for 1 minute, tossing frequently with tongs to disperse sauce.
• Add back in the vegetables and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then remove from heat.
• Taste and adjust as needed, adding more curry powder for curry flavor or more maple syrup to balance the curry flavor.
• Serve with desired toppings. This dish benefits greatly from a little hot sauce, such as sriracha!
• Best when fresh, though leftovers keep for 2-3 days covered in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat.
