Singapore Noodles

I cooked Singapore Noodles for dinner the other night along with Beef in Black Bean Sauce. Here's the recipe for the Singapore Noodles. I looked at a few different recipes and ended up winging it and putting together my own. It was a winner according to J and the kids.

800 grams Chicken thighs (cut into thin strips)
300 grams green prawns
275 grams rice noodles

1.5cm piece of ginger (chopped finely)
1 onion (cut into wedges
6 shallots (cut thinly on an angle)
1 red capsicum (cut in strips)
large handful of snow peas
large handful of bean shoots
handful of fresh coriander (chopped roughly)
4 tbsp of dark soy sauce
2 tbsp of fish sauce
4 tbsp of rice wine vinegar
2 eggs (whisked)
sesame oil (you can omit but the flavour is lovely)
peanut oil (or olive oil)
3 tbsp madras curry
1tbsp brown sugar

5. Remove from wok and add to the bowl of chicken.

6. Add beaten eggs to wok and cook for a couple of minutes.

7. Add noodles, curry powder, brown sugar and stir threw. Add chicken, prawns and vegetables. Stir to combine.
