Singapore Noodles

    Singapore Noodles

    Singapore noodles are one of those great dishes that simply feels good no matter what time of day you have it.

    It has long been one of my favourite takeout/delivery meals for a rainy/cold day and I love it as leftovers for breakfast on the weekends. When added to broth, it’s a comforting and warming meal, especially in the winter. 

    As with so many things that they are used in, the onions you choose can really make or break this dish. Be sure to use a nice flavourful Spanish onion for the best results.
