Singapore Noodles recipe by Jane Lovett

As with most stir fries, it’s important, and much easier, to prepare all the components before you start cooking. As this is a very quick way of cooking, they’re then ready at hand to add in quick succession to the wok. After that it takes a matter of just a few minutes to cook. Assuming you have noodles in the cupboard, you’re only a few minutes away from a tasty quick lunch or supper. Using fresh noodles is quicker still.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

If using dried noodles, soak or cook them according to the packet instructions. Drain and toss with a splash of sesame oil to prevent sticking, then set aside. Fresh noodles need no preparation.

Step 2

Mix the curry powder, turmeric, sugar,Shaoxing rice wine (or dry sherry) and soy sauce together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat a good splash of sesame oil in a (preferably non-stick) wok on a high heat until very hot, then add the spring onions, prawns, garlic, ginger and chilli and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes or just until the prawns turn pink. Lower the heat. Push everything to one side of the wok, then tilt it, add a drop more sesame oil, and pour in the beaten eggs in a thin layer. Cook as for a thin omelette, until set, then break up into ribbons and combine with the other wok ingredients.

Step 4

Stir in the peas and noodles, warm through, then add the soy sauce mixture. Mix well and cook on a low-medium heat until hot throughout. Add a little water if the noodles seem dry. Serve immediately garnished with chopped coriander and lime wedges (if using)
