🥄 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rice Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the rice noodles and cook until tender but firm to the bite, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water. Let them air-dry in a colander for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 to 3 hours, tossing occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, and all of the sesame oil until blended.
3. Cook the Eggs:
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of peanut or vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or wok over moderate-high heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and immediately reduce the heat to low. Scramble the eggs until just set, then turn them out onto a plate and reserve.
4. Stir Fry the Shrimp:
- Return the skillet to moderate-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add the shrimp and stir fry until just barely cooked, about 1 minute. Remove the shrimp and reserve in a small bowl.
5. Cook the Chicken and Pork:
- Return the skillet to moderate-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the pork and chicken, stir-frying until just cooked, about 1 minute. Remove and reserve in a small bowl.
6. Sauté Aromatics:
- Place a large, heavy wok over high heat. When very hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the ginger, garlic, chilies, and the remaining curry powder. Stir fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
7. Add Vegetables and Meat:
- Add the Chinese barbecue pork, red and green bell peppers, and stir fry for 30 seconds. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of water over the mixture and cook until it boils away. Push the ingredients to the sides of the wok.
8. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the center of the wok. Add the scallions, bean sprouts, and noodles. Toss over high heat until very hot, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Return the shrimp, pork, and chicken to the wok. Add the soy sauce and dry sherry, tossing well.
9. Final Touches:
- Season with salt to taste. Add the reserved scrambled eggs and sprinkle on the chopped cilantro. Toss everything together until well combined.
10. Serve:
- Turn out the Singapore Rice Noodles onto a large platter. Serve hot and enjoy this aromatic and flavorful dish!
🍽️ Tips and Tricks:
