Singapore Noodles



This dish was another request from the husband, and he LOVED the finished result, as did my noodle-loving one-year-old.  There are lots of options in the supermarket for vermicelli noodles - the pre-packaged packet ones, the hard ones that require soaking and the ones that require cooking on the stovetop.  Any of them work!  Very easy, cheap, healthy and delicious!

Ingredients:
400g dried rice vermicelli
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
250g chicken breast, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons oil
2 celery sticks, sliced thinly
1 large carrot, sliced thinly
3 spring onions, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
65g bean sprouts

Prepare vermicelli according to packet.

Place garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 2 teaspoons soy sauce in a bowl and mix well.  Add the chicken, stir to coat and marinate for 30 minutes, if time allows.

Heat oil in a wok.  Stir-fry the chicken until browned.  Add the celery, carrot and spring onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until slightly softened.  Add the curry powder and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the noodles and mix well.  Stir in the remaining oyster sauce, soy sauce and bean sprouts.  Enjoy!
