Singapore Fried Noodles Recipe

This is a great quick dinner, and a really simple version of Singapore Fried Noodles that kids will love. It can be made with or without the meat too.

This is a great recipe for using up leftovers. If you have an excess of roast pork, roast chicken, or leftover mince, you can just quickly reheat and refry the meat as part of this dish.

Also don’t get too caught up on the vegetables in this dish. We’ve used carrots, courgettes, celery and spring onion, but you can use anything in your veggie drawer. Other options include: bok choy, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, fennel, capsicum, red onion. Anything goes really!

Make this exactly as the below but without the meat addition for a meat-free Monday. And it is an ideal extendable dish in the event of surprise dinner guests!

Again, it’s very easy to make and a great dish that older children can help with the cooking on.

4. When done, remove, roll up and cut into thin strips. Set aside.
5. Heat remaining oil in a wok and add carrot and spring onion. Cook until still crisp but tenderised.
