    Overhead photo of all the ingredients needed to make Singapore Street Noodles.
    • Vermencilli noodles - Try soba or udon noodles instead or check out our Asian noodle guide if you want some information or suggestions on other noodles you can use. They all work. Make sure to cook them according to the package instructions. Ideally, choose thin noodles that will cook quickly and evenly for best results..
    • Sesame oil - Adds a little flavor to dishes in small amounts, if available.
    • Large Shrimp and Chicken Breast - Use beef, pork or tofu instead.
    • Fresh Garlic - If no fresh garlic available you can use jarred minced garlic or even garlic powder instead.
    • White pepper - Use black pepper instead.
    • Paprika - Use smoked paprika instead for a little heat.
    • Curry - Use curry with your ideal heat level.
    • Vegetables - Feel free to exchange, use your favorite vegetables or whatever is available to you. Add bok choy, spinach or kale, celery, bean sprouts, mushrooms or bell peppers.
    • Yellow Onion - Use red onion instead.

    Sauce

    • Soy sauce - Use tamari as gluten free option in place of soy sauce. Also, to reduce salt, choose low-sodium soy sauce instead.
    • Mirin - Use dry sherry instead.
    • Oyster sauce - Use hoisin, fish sauce or teriyaki sauce instead.
    • Curry powder - To add variety, try using different curry powders or spice blends. For a milder taste, opt for a mild curry powder or even turmeric. For a spicier kick, consider using a hot curry powder or a combination of cumin, coriander, and chili powder instead.
    • Red chili paste - Use sriracha, sambal olek, harrisa, gochujang or your favorite hot sauce instead.

    Topping

    • Fried shallot - Use crispy fried onions instead.
    • Cilantro - Use parsley or Thai basil instead.

    See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

    Substitutions and Variations

    When making Singapore Street Noodles, feel free to experiment with the ingredients. By swapping some key components, you can create a diverse range of flavors to suit your preferences. Here are some suggestions:

    • Go Nuts - Add roasted peanuts for some crunch.
    • Add Eggs - Add eggs to the dish for extra protein. Simply scramble the eggs and mix them in with the noodles during the stir-frying process.
    • Spicy - Add a bit of chili pepper flakes, diced jalapeno pepper, our jalapeno powder, smoked jalapeno powder, or chipotle powder to the sauce mixture for more heat. You can also serve up our homemade hot pepper sauce on the table as well.

    Storage

    Refrigerate
    To store your leftover Singapore Street Noodles in the refrigerator, make sure to transfer them into an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Freeze
    Freezing your Singapore Street Noodles is also an excellent option, particularly if you want to preserve them for a longer period. To freeze, separate the noodles into portion-sized, freezer-safe containers or resealable plastic bags. Make sure to label each container or bag with the date and contents. The noodles can be stored frozen for up to 2 months.

    Reheat
    When you’re ready to enjoy your leftovers, there are a couple of different methods to reheat your Singapore Street Noodles. For a quick solution, you can use a microwave.

    Transfer the noodles to a microwave-safe dish.
    Pour a tablespoon of water over the noodles to keep them from drying out.
    Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
    Heat the dish on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
    Alternatively, you can reheat the noodles on the stovetop and place a tablespoon of oil in a pan or ideally a wok and heat it over medium heat.
    Add your noodles and stir-fry them for a few minutes, until heated through.

    Make Ahead
    Singapore Street Noodles are a great make-ahead meal and you can cook the noodles and sauce separately, storing them in individual airtight containers.
    Dice and sauté your protein and vegetables, then store them separately in airtight containers as well.
    When you're ready to assemble the dish, simply combine the noodles, sauce, protein, and vegetables in a pan or wok, stir-frying them until cooked and heated through.

      Awesome!
      Made it twice now once with Chicken and tonight with Pork.
      With the Pork I made up the sauce used for the sauce recipe minus 1 tablespoon of curry powder and marinated the Pork all night.
      It was the bomb.

        I prefer to use mild curry powder and think it works better in the recipe. My son uses hot curry powder because he loves spicy everything! Thank you for asking. I have corrected the recipe. Enjoy every bite! All the best. Karin
