Instructions

Prepare the Noodles: Begin by soaking the vermicelli noodles in cold water for approximately 20 minutes, ensuring they are fully submerged and pliable. If you choose to use wheat noodles instead, boil them for 2 to 4 minutes, then drain in a colander, rinse under cold water, and drain again to stop the cooking process.

Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sambal ulek (if using), molasses, and rice vinegar. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Drain the Noodles: After soaking, drain the vermicelli noodles and set them aside.
-
Heat the Skillet or Wok: Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, swirl in the canola oil, allowing it to coat the surface.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Add the curry powder, grated ginger, minced garlic, and the white parts of the scallions to the pan. Stir-fry these ingredients for about 20 seconds, taking care not to let them brown, as you want to preserve their fresh flavors.
-
Cook the Proteins and Vegetables: Introduce the shrimp, sliced red bell pepper, and any other protein (such as pork) to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, cooking until the shrimp turns pink and the peppers are tender-crisp.
-
Combine with Noodles: Gently stir in the drained vermicelli noodles, followed by the prepared soy sauce mixture, sliced scallion greens, and the bean sprouts. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the sauce.
-
Finish Cooking: Continue stir-frying for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the noodles have softened and the flavors are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat and serve the Singapore Style Noodles immediately, garnished with additional scallions or fresh herbs if desired.
This Singapore Style Noodles recipe is sure to impress your family and friends, combining vibrant colors and rich flavors in a delightful stir-fry. Enjoy the ease of preparation and the satisfaction of a delicious homemade meal that captures the essence of Asian cuisine.
