How to Cook Easy Singapore Noodles recipe

The story behind Singapore Noodles

 

Singapore Noodles does not originate from Singapore itself. Nobody could figure out why it is named as SIngapore noodles when it was originated from the Cantonese community in the past centuries.

Actually, if I am not wrong, it is named as SIngapore because if you translate the Chinese dish, it is pronounced as Xin Zhou Mi Fen, that if you direct translate, if means Singapore Noodles.

 

Singapore Noodles is made of rice rice vermicelli also known as Bihun or Bee Hoon, locally.

You could hardly find anyone in SIngapore consume Singapore Noodles . Instead, Singaporean prefers Hokkien Noodles!

 

 

Ingredients Used

 

This noodle recipe is similar to Chow Mien recipe, it is stir fry noodles , combined with assorted seafood of your choice.

 

Vegetables used are usually green pepper ( capcium), spring onions and carrots but some people would replace the pepper with bean sprouts which are cheaper in price.

 

You may noticed that Singapore Noodles do not contain chicken meats at all. Unless one is allergic to seafood, you might replace it with chicken meats instead.

 

It is a common practice to add in shrimps or Tiger Prawns in this noodle recipe and the fragrance of the noodle comes from the seafood itself.

 

Bi Hun or Bee Hun which is locally known is actually rice vermicelli, noodles that are made from rice flour, thin, white in color and great for weight watchers.

 

ALternatively, you could replace it with glass noodle threads ( also known as Thung Fen ), that appears alike crystal clear thin noodles that is much chewy and expensive too.
