What are Singapore Curry Noodles?
This Singapore curry vermicelli recipe is a very popular dish in South East Asia! It's one that you will find often on menu in Asian restaurants even in Canada (hello Markham and Richmond Hill, Ontario!)
My version of singapore curry rice vermicelli is so flavourful, not spicy but carries that curry flavour that we all know and enjoy.
It's packed with snap peas, red bell peppers, chicken, egg, garlic and red onion! You can really swap out the veggies and protein with whatever you desire. The sauce is what really gives these noodles their flavour.

Tips for Preparing Chewy Delicious Noodles
Now we all hate soggy, soft noodles that just sit in your mouth, right? So here's my little quick tip that will ensure chewy springy noodles that you can apply to most Asian noodles like udon, rice noodles, vermicelli, mung beans noodles and sweet potato japchae noodles.
- In a large bowl, add your dry noodles in. Cover with hot boiling water until the noodles have loosened usually about 2 -3 minutes max.
- Then rinse off with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Never boil your noodles ahead of time. This will make them soggy when you stir fry them!
- This same process can be applied to noodles in soup as well!

My passion for Asian food
I love Asian food. I actually think it’s so incredibly delicious and packed with flavour to hit every single taste bud thanks to the variety of sauces and spices. It’s such a treat to have it when I visit Malaysia, my husband’s home country.
I was actually inspired by Marion’s Kitchen to make this recipe. If you’ve not heard of Marion, she’s a wonderful YouTuber who shares incredible delicious Asian recipes from Thailand, Hong Kong and South East Asia in general. Her recipes are SO delicious looking and she’s really inspired me to want to cook more asian recipes.
I grew up eating primarily asian food and I miss my mum’s cooking. So it’s nice to be able to cook more asian cuisine and share it here.

Wow, these noodles look absolutely delicious!
I really love the color that the peppers and snap peas add to this dish. This dish is sure to serve up some dinnertime happiness!
I love our local Chinese restaurant "Chow Mein" but it's not like all the ones I see online.When cooked the chow mein (made with thin yellow noodles) is 100% dry and the noodles are soft. Not wet at all! The only thing added to the Chow mein is a bit of shredded chicken and diced green onion. That's it.The veggie and meat dishes are separate. But no matter what noodle I use or how long I boil the noodle they end up wet and soggy. It tastes okay but it's not what I want .Even if I add in uncooked dry noodles the result is wet noodles. Do restaurants use a special brand or type of noodle? Do they steam cook their noodles? An help you could give would be appreciated. {I'd love to watch our local restaurant cook the chow mein but I doubt they'd let me - probably a secret.
For Chow Mein specifically (not lo mein), they use Cantonese Egg Noodles that are called "Chow Mein Noodles" on the packaging. Since the noodles are fresh they will simply deep fry them in oil until crispy. Then after that set it aside and create the veggie meat sauce which is a thick glossy sauce made of a variety of seasoning ingredients. Then they pour the sauce over top. If you'd like a recipe for my Chow Mein that is similar to the restaurants, check out my Chicken Veggie Tofu Chow Mein, or my Veggie Chow Mein. Hope this helps.
