What are Singapore noodles?
I am sure many of you have tried Singapore style noodles in Chinese/Cantonese restaurants here in the United States.
This noodle recipe do not come from Singapore; if you go to Singapore, you will never find these noodles there.
I believe the dish is a Chinese/Cantonese creation, probably invented by Chinese or Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong or United States.
It’s basically a stir-fried rice noodle dish made of rice vermicelli, curry powder, with chicken, pork, shrimp, vegetables and eggs as the toppings.

Having lived in Singapore I can say it definitely DOES exist in hawkers markets and restaurants.
They exist in Singapore and also Malaysia its called 星洲米粉 or Xin/Sin Chow Bee Hoon. Get rid of the Bell peppers and curry powder and you have a close approximation to the real thing.
Do you put the noodles in boiling water and let it sit? Or can you boil it for a short period?
Please follow the recipe. Do not boil the noodles.
