Singapore Curry Noodles

Valentina

My first Singapore-style noodles came from a little health food grocery store in Manhattan. I was immediately smitten with the combination of curry-infused rice noodles clad in a light umami-rich sauce with plenty of fragrant ginger and garlic. This dish is my vegetable-rich adaptation of that dish, made with bell peppers, tofu, scallions, and carrots. The easy 3-ingredient sauce makes this comforting dish come together in only 15 minutes.

Shopping List
    Noodles
  • 7 ounces cooked tofu, diced small (Note 1)
  • 3 ounces dried rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1 medium-sized carrot
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow or brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • lime juice, for serving Sauce
  • 3 tablespoon low-sodium tamari
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (we use this one)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • chili flakes, to taste

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Bring a pot of water to a simmer, turn off the heat, and then add the noodles. Let the noodles soak in the hot water for 3 to 4 minutes, or until pliable. Once cooked to your liking, drain the noodles and cut any very long strands into pieces. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Peel the carrot into ribbon-like strands with a vegetable peeler. Dice the remaining core into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the carrot ribbons and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until just softened.
  4. Step 4: Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add the drained noodles and the sauce into the pan with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the noodles in the sauce. Fold the cubed tofu and scallions into the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  5. Serve: Transfer the noodles into bowls and top each with squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy.

This dish is my vegetable-rich and grain-free adaptation of that dish, made with bell peppers, spaghetti squash noodles, scallions, and carrots. The easy 3-ingredient sauce makes this comforting dish come together in no time.

Shopping List
    Noodles
  • 8 ounces raw shrimp, cleaned and deveined
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti squash (Note 1)
  • 1 medium-sized carrot
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow or brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • lime juice, for serving Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (sweet or spicy, adjust to taste)
  • chili flakes, to taste

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, add the shrimp and 1 clove of chopped garlic. Cook for 2 minutes on one side and then flip over. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes (depending on the size) on the opposite side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Note: It is important to only cook the shrimp until they are no longer opaque, otherwise they will overcook.
  2. Step 2: Peel the carrot into ribbon-like strands with a vegetable peeler. Dice the remaining core into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the carrot and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until just softened.
  4. Step 4: Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add the cooked spaghetti squash noodles and the sauce into the pan with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the noodles in the sauce. Fold the cooked shrimp and scallions into the pan, cooking for 1 more minute. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  5. Serve: Transfer the noodles into bowls and top each with squeeze of lime juice. Enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: No spaghetti squash? Try using hearts of palm noodles.
