Noodles

Singapore Noodles

This is my interpretation of Singapore Noodles. It has beautiful colour from the turmeric; it is cooked in fragrant spices-garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric and curry powder.  I used to fish,  prawns and scallops for this dish, but chicken or pork are good also.
The vegetables are carrots and beans, the contrast colour of green and orange are so fresh and bright, and the taste is complementary to one another.

A Platter of Singapore Noodles

A delightful dish, lovely flavour and golden colour.  It can be served as it is, or a part of a banquette. 
I enjoy this dish for a quick lunch or even dinner, it is very easy to cook, and the ingredients are readily available in any supermarket
