Singapore Fried Rice Vermicelli
Singapore Noodles, also known as Singapore Fried Rice Vermicelli, is a vibrant curry spiced noodle stir fry that is hugely popular in Chinese takeaways across the UK. Despite the name, the dish is believed to have Cantonese roots, combining rice vermicelli with Madras style curry powder for its signature golden colour and fragrant spice.
This Singapore Noodles recipe focuses on correct noodle preparation, high heat wok control and even distribution of curry spice through the classic “round and forward” folding motion.
The key is soaking, drying and cooking quickly so the noodles remain separate, lightly coated and never soggy.
Pinoy Pickled Chilli Sauce is a vibrant Filipino style condiment that delivers a powerful balance of sour, sweet, salty and spicy flavours. Inspired by traditional Filipino sawsawan dipping sauces, this quick chilli pickle combines fresh chillies, Thai shallots, ginger and garlic with rice vinegar and sugar to create a sharp, aromatic sauce that develops even more flavour over time. Perfect alongside grilled meats, crispy pork belly or barbecue dishes, this Pinoy Pickled Chilli Sauce adds heat, brightness and punch to any feast.
Lotus Leaf Fried Rice is a fragrant, earthy festive dish where savoury sausage, dried shrimp and mushrooms are stir fried with rice, wrapped in soaked lotus leaf and steamed to infuse a delicate tea like aroma. This Lotus Leaf Fried Rice recipe layers flavour in the wok first, then finishes with a second steam to allow the lotus leaf to perfume the rice beautifully.
Often served at banquets and special occasions, lotus leaf fried rice is about depth and aroma. The sausage fat coats each grain, the dried shrimp add umami, and the final steam transforms the dish completely.
Simple Salt and Pepper Squid is a Cantonese takeaway favourite built around lightly battered baby squid, fried until crisp and finished with a smoky salt, chilli and garlic toss. This Simple Salt and Pepper Squid recipe focuses on proper cornflour coating, correct oil temperature and a lightning fast final stir fry to keep the squid tender and crunchy.
The secret to great salt and pepper squid is dryness. The squid must be coated thoroughly in seasoned cornflour and fried quickly at high heat. The final toss with garlic, chilli and cracked black pepper should take only seconds to avoid burning.
