Stir-Fried Noodles with Chicken (Singapore Style)

Singapore stir fried rice noodles with curry and turmeric flavor is one of my favorite noodle dishes, other than Pad Thai. The sauce is a combination of soy sauce, mirin, and chicken broth with a balanced taste of sweet and salty. As for the vegetables, the main vegetables for this dish are sweet bell peppers and bean sprouts. However, I always add different kinds of other vegetables that I have available– just to suit my own taste. For a fast and healthy stir-fried noodles dish, this is the recipe. The curry and turmeric are the two spices that give this recipe its outstanding flavor.

Ingredients:
6 oz. fresh rice noodles
Marinade ingredients:
10 oz. chicken breasts, sliced
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp oil
Sauce ingredients:
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp mirin
1 tbs soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Sriracha sauce (Vietnamese hot sauce)
Other ingredients:
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp curry powder
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 cups total combination of  red, green, and yellow sweet bell peppers, julienned
1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup bean sprouts
 
Garnish with  chopped cilantro

Directions:
In a bowl with warm water, soak the noodles until soft and pliable (about 15 to 25 minutes) and then drain.
In another bowl, add chicken with all the marinade ingredients. Add half of the shallots and garlic. Let marinate for a few hours.
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
In a wok over medium heat, add 1 tsp oil until just smoking. Add chicken and stir until brown (about 2 minutes). Remove chicken and place on the platter.
Add the remaining oil into the same wok. Add the other half of shallot, garlic, curry, and mushrooms. Cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in bell peppers and cook until all the vegetables are soft and tender. Stir in noodles, chicken, and sauce. Toss gently until everything is well coated with sauce (about 2 to 3 minutes). Stir in bean sprouts and chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!!
