Day 2 - Singapore Noodles

Day 2 and I decided to make Singapore Noodles which I found at Budget Bytes.















Singapore Noodles
8 oz Rice Vermicelli Noodles
1 TBSP Hot Curry Powder
2 cloves garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
3 TBSP vegetable oil
1 bunch bok choy
4 medium carrots
12 oz bag bean sprouts
1 bunch green onions
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili garlic sauce (Optional)

STEP 1: Place the dry rice noodles in a bowl and cover with room temperature water. Let soak for 15 minutes. Drain in a colander after they have soaked and are softened. Return the noodles to the bowl, cut the noodles into pieces (approximately 6 inches in length) to facilitate stir frying later. Sprinkle the noodles with curry powder and toss to coat. Set noodles aside.

STEP 2: While the noodles are soaking/draining/marinating in curry powder, prepare all of your vegetables. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger, julienne the carrots, wash and thinly slice the bok choy, rinse the bean sprouts and slice the green onion.

STEP 3: Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the garlic and ginger. Stir fry very briefly (1 minute or less) then add all of the vegetables, reserving some green onion for garnish. Stir fry the vegetables until they just begin to soften.

STEP 4: Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir fry briefly (1-2 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce. You can either add them to the pan individually or mix them all together in a bowl then stir into the dish. Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Verdict:
This one took a while to prepare but we all really enjoyed it.  I don't care for hot curry powder and I didn't have chili garlic sauce so I left them out.  The kids both ate all of there dinner tonight!
