Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • Choose chicken thighs with no fat or skin for the best flavor.
  • Look for shrimp that are labeled "peeled and deveined" for convenience.

  • Substitute the egg noodles for whole wheat noodles for a healthier option. Whole wheat noodles are lower in calories and carbohydrates, and higher in fiber and protein. This substitution provides a healthier alternative for those looking to reduce their caloric intake.
  • Substitute the chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option. Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein and is a much lower fat option than chicken. This substitution provides a vegetarian option for those looking for a meat-free meal.

Vegetarian Singapore Noodles Omit the chicken and shrimp and replace with 1 cup of extra vegetables such as mushrooms, baby corn, red onion, and red pepper. Use a vegetable-based curry paste instead of a mild curry paste. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil to the stir fry.



Coconut Rice - Coconut Rice is a perfect accompaniment to Singapore Noodles, as its subtle sweetness and creamy texture complements the savory flavors of the dish. The coconut flavor also adds a unique flavor to the dish that is sure to be a hit with everyone!


Stir-Fried Bok Choy: Stir-Fried Bok Choy is a great side dish to serve with Coconut Rice. It is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor and nutrition. The crunchy texture of the bok choy pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of the coconut rice, and the contrasting flavors of the two dishes will create a unique and delicious flavor combination.

Daily Inspiration

We enjoyed this version of Singapore noodles -- it's one of my favorite recipes at our local Asian restaurant. I used baby shrimp in addition to the chicken (used breast meat vs. thigh). I chose red curry paste and substituted tamari sauce for regular soy sauce to reduce the salt content. I also used a very thin vermicelli-type pasta that I purchased in the Asian market. Made a really nice meal.
