The ingredients for Pinch of Nom's Singapore-Style Noodles are laid out on a kitchen countertop, ready to begin cooking.

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

There’s no need to pick up the takeaway menu with our Singapore-Style Noodles recipe up your sleeve. It’s far easier than you might think to create those amazing, fiery, aromatic flavours at home!

It’s also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you’ve got lying around. We’ve chopped in colourful peppers, filling mushrooms and leafy green pak choi, but there’s nothing to stop you adding more. Baby corn, broccoli and carrots all work a treat.

You can even add some zucchini noodles (or zoodles, as we like to call them) if you prefer!

We’d say our recipe is medium-spicy, but it’s really simple to turn up the heat – add more chilli and ginger until your fork-twirling noodles have the punch you’re after. You could even add some chilli powder in with the curry powder to give it more of a kick.

Absolutely delicious. Too much vinegar for my taste so less next time. We also used medium curry powder instead of hot as we didn’t have madras. Added turmeric too. Veggies added were beansprouts, water chestnuts and sugar snap peas. Definitely recommend!

You say in the Method to “add ginger, chilli, garlic & onion” but there’s no garlic in the list of ingredients.
I’m assuming there should be garlic, but how many cloves do you use??

Thanks
