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.

SPICY SINGAPORE NOODLES

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over the noodles in a bowl and leave for 4-5 mins until just starting to soften, or follow the pack instructions. Drain and leave in the sieve to steam-dry. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and set aside.
• Put all your ingredients in bowls next to the hob ready to use. Heat a wok over a high heat with 1 tbsp of the oil. Add the chilli, garlic, coriander stalks and ginger, and stir-fry for a couple of mins. Add the carrot, spring onions and shredded cabbage, and stir-fry for about 5 mins, then move all of it to one side of the wok. Add the remaining oil and fry the beaten egg, moving it around to incorporate into the veg. Add the prawns and stir for a few seconds untilstarting to turn pink. Add the pork, stir-fry to heat through and combine, then add the noodles and sauce, followed by the beansprouts. Stir-fry until the prawns are cooked through, then serve topped with coriander leaves.

SINGAPORE NOODLES WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Season eggs with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and whisk well.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or wok over medium-high, and, once hot, swirl the oil around and pour in the egg mixture. Allow the egg to set before pushing the egg to one side and tilting the pan to the opposite side. Cook this way until the egg is just set. Break the egg into large chunks (they'll break up into smaller pieces on their own), remove from pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan if necessary.
• Prepare the scallions by separating the white and green parts. Halve the white sections vertically so they are thinner, then cut into 2-inch segments. Cut the green parts into 2-inch segments.
• In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high, add the peppers and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, then add the white parts of the scallions in stages. As the scallions wilt, add more and cook until charred, another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop, reduce heat to medium and add 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the curry powder and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and stir vigorously to dissolve the curry powder, about 30 seconds.
• Increase heat to medium-high, add the drained vermicelli and ¼ cup of water, and drizzle with another 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil. Using tongs or long wooden chopsticks, toss the noodles well, ensuring that they are well coated in the curry mixture.
• Add the soy sauce and toss for 3 to 5 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Add the peppers, scallion whites and egg back to the pan, along with the scallion greens, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the greens are wilted. Taste and season with more salt, if required.

SINGAPORE RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak the dried rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl of cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and cut in half with kitchen shears.
• Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients and organize your mise en place. For this dish, you need to have everything ready to go before you start to cook.
• Slice the sausage and place it on a plate with the chicken and dried chiles. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Combine the curry powder, crushed dried shrimp and white pepper on a small plate.
• Cut the onion into thin slices and halve the shrimp lengthwise. Add them to the plate with the meats and chiles.
• Cut the scallions into 1-inch-long batons and transfer to a plate. Peel the carrot and cut it into matchsticks; add them to the plate. Thinly slice the cabbage crosswise to yield 2 cups and transfer to the plate.
• Combine the sake, soy sauce, sesame oil and bean sprouts in a small bowl.
• Preheat a wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the egg. Tilt the wok, scraping and breaking up the egg. As soon it's cooked, transfer to the plate with the curry powder. Wipe out the wok.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the peanut oil to the wok. Add the sausage, chicken, chiles, onion and shrimp. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute, then transfer to a plate.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the carrots, cabbage, scallions, curry powder, dried shrimp, white pepper and cooked egg. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute.
• Return the sausage, chicken, chiles, onion and shrimp to the wok and cook, tossing, 1 more minute.
• Add the noodles to the wok. Toss constantly, scraping the bottom of the wok with two wooden spatulas to avoid any sticking, until the noodles are heated through, about 30 seconds.
• Next, add the bowl of liquid seasonings and bean sprouts. Toss and cook until the sprouts are tender, about 1 minute. Spill onto a platter and serve immediately.
