Singapore Noodles with Shrimp

Singapore Noodles with Shrimp
I love Asian noodle recipes! I've tried many in my blogging days! This one is a little different because it's a fusion of Chinese and Indian flavors! The curry powder gives it some heat. Most Singapore Noodle recipes are on the bland side, in my opinion!

So I took this very popular recipe here and 'Super Tweaked' to make it more tasty! I omitted the chicken and pork because I wanted a simpler recipe using only shrimp. I added a homemade stir fry sauce (shown below) to amp up the flavor! I loved the results and will be making this more often! This tastes just like a dish from my local take-out restaurant! Perfect for when I get a craving for Chinese food!

  2. Oh my! I could eat 2 platefuls of this! One day I'm going to get brave and make Asian food - although why? My daughter's MIL is from South Korea and makes food as beautiful as yours - I'll stick with that! :)
