Singapore noodles (also know as Singapore Mei Fun) is a flavorful and vibrant stir-fried noodle dish that hails from Singaporean cuisine.

This dish features thin rice noodles, stir-fried with a combination of succulent shrimp, savory Canadian bacon strips, crunchy red pepper and carrots, and fragrant scallions.

The noodles are seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices, including curry powder, giving the dish its distinctive taste. Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
  • 8 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 ounces Canadian bacon, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the Canadian bacon strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn slightly crispy.
  4. Add the shrimp, red pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the vegetables are slightly tender.
  5. Push the ingredients to one side of the skillet and add the cooked rice vermicelli noodles to the empty space. Sprinkle the curry powder, soy sauce, and chili flakes (if using) over the noodles. Toss everything together until well combined and the noodles are evenly coated with the spices and sauce.
  6. Stir in the sliced scallions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Remove from heat and serve the Singapore Mei Fun hot, garnished with additional scallions if desired.

Notes

Ensure that the rice vermicelli noodles are cooked just until they are al dente, as they will continue to cook when stir-fried. You can customize the recipe by incorporating other vegetables such as bean sprouts or snow peas. For an extra burst of freshness, squeeze a bit of lime juice over the dish before serving. Enjoy!
