Serves 4-6. Toby is a big eater so it only serves 4 in our household but could serve 6 regular eaters. We always make enough for 4 so we can have leftovers for lunch the following day.
Chef suggestion: enjoy with pu-erh tea or cola
Enjoy!
looks amazing. i will be cooking this. but umm, what is the curry powder? like, keens?
ReplyDeleteJames, we use a cheap one from the asian supermarket called perfect fine foods. I think keens would fine too!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing and the recipe sounds really good. I was tempted to drop everything and make it tonight but had other things that needed using up. Will definitely try it soon!
ReplyDeleteOne of our fave dishes is Singapore Noodles -- will def try this recipe. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYum! Singapore noodles are my favourite noodle dish! <3
ReplyDeletelooks delicious - I love these easy mid week noodle dishes - always amazes me no matter how many vegetables before the noodles, once they are in the pot they seem the bulk of the dish
