Singapore Noodles with Shrimp

Leave the take-out menu in the drawer and make easy Singapore Noodles with Shrimp at home. This easy noodle stir-fry comes together in about 30 minutes.



Ok, a disclaimer before we get started: Just as the Pu Pu Platter in a Chinese restaurant isn’t something you would find in a restaurant in China, Singapore noodles are unknown in Singapore.

My Singaporean friend was surprised when he noticed the item on a Chinese restaurant menu here in the United States, and couldn’t imagine where it was from.

WHERE DO SINGAPORE NOODLES COME FROM?


So let’s dismiss any notion that Singapore noodles are an authentic Asian dish. Many take credit for the invention, but most think this noodle stir-fry was actually created at Chinese-American restaurants by Chinese immigrants, bringing in elements such as rice noodles from their country of origin.

WHAT ARE SINGAPORE NOODLES?


This dish—a popular Chinese take-out menu item in the U.S.—is a stir-fry made with rice noodles, lots of crisp vegetables, shrimp, strips of ham, and scrambled eggs. Curry powder is a seasoning, but lots of flavor also comes from a simple sauce of soy, rice vinegar, and Asian sesame oil.

Whoever invented the dish is brilliant. You get crunch, heat, salt, sweet, smoke, and aromatics all at once. All the ingredients are added to the pan in stages, and from start to finish, it takes just over ten minutes.

PREP ALL YOUR INGREDIENTS BEFORE YOU BEGIN


Like all stir-fries, this dish cooks very quickly, so it’s best to be completely prepared before you start:

Peel shrimp, cut the ham into strips, and chop the vegetables.
Cook the rice noodles.

Whisk together the eggs.
Line up all the prepped ingredients so they’re right beside your pan, and you’re ready. A large, well-seasoned wok is ideal, but lacking that, use a 12-inch skillet, which is what I use.


INGREDIENTS


2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
6 ounces Asian rice sticks or rice vermicelli noodles
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 carrots, shredded
1 jalapeño pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
4 ounces flavorful baked ham, cut into thin 2-inch strips
1/2 Napa cabbage (1/2 pound), thinly sliced
4 scallions, green and white parts cut into 1-inch lengths
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 2-inch thin strips
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, for garnish

Middle Earth Lentil and Kielbasa Casserole

Inspired by Tolkien's "The Trilogy" comes a dish from a dear and long time friend Kathy. It seems like only yesterday we were winding our way through the shire hanging out with Bilbo and Frodo Baggins taking a three book journey through Middle Earth. Spell bound by every page we read, Kathy and I could not wait for our next tea session to discuss the happenings, taking care that neither of us spoiled it for the other. You see Kathy had actually already read the book and me, well as usual I was one step behind and she decided to re-read it while I was reading it for the very first time. I was so excited to read it that I went to our nearest local bookstore and purchased a beautiful hard copy set that I just passed along to my youngest son. Read more »
