SINGAPORE NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
• Place rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl filled with boiled water and soak as per packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or heavy based fry pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp/prawns, cook until just cooked - about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Add the egg and spread it out to make a thin omelette. Once set, use a spatula to roll it up, remove from the wok and slice (while still rolled up).
• Return the wok to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Add the garlic, ginger and onion, cook for 2 minutes until onion is slightly softened.
• Add capsicum and cook for 1 minute.
• Add noodles and Sauce, give it a few tosses. Then add the egg, pork, shrimp/prawns, chillies (if using). Toss until the sauce coats all the noodles and everything is heated through - about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

SINGAPORE NOODLES

Steps:

• If you are using fresh noodles, blanch them by boiling for three to five minutes in a large saucepan of water. Boil dried noodles four to five minutes. Drain noodles and set aside in a bowl of cold water.
• Cut the bean curd into half-inch cubes.
• Heat the oil for deep frying in a deep fat fryer or large wok until it almost smokes. Deep-fry the bean curd in two batches for one to two minutes, until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
• In another wok or skillet, heat two teaspoons of the oil and add the eggs, sesame oil and salt. When cooked the eggs should look like a thin flat pancake. Remove from the pan, roll up the pancake and slice one-inch thick to form long strips. Set aside.
• Add the remaining oil to a wok or skillet. Add garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Drain the noodles and add them to the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Stir-fry until well mixed. Add the egg strips and fried bean curd and stir-fry another three to four minutes until the bean curd is heated through. Divide into two portions and serve at once.

SINGAPORE NOODLES WITH RED-ROASTED PORK

Steps:

• Trim any fat from the pork fillet.
• In a bowl mix together all the marinade ingredients and coat the pork and marinade for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas7. Lift pork onto a rack resting over a foil lined roasting tin and roast for 10 minutes. Lower oven temp to 180°C/350°F/gas4 and cook for a further 15 minutes, basting occasionally.
• Cook noodles according to packet instructions, drain well and toss with sesame oil and set aside. Cut the red-roasted pork into thin slices.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan and add groundnut oil. When very hot, add garlic and spring onions and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add chillies, green pepper and mushrooms and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in soy sauce, yellow bean sauce, sherry, caster sugar and seasoning to taste.
• Bring just to the boil and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes. Add noodles and sliced pork and toss over high heat for 1-2 minutes until piping hot.
