Directions

SAUCE

  • Warm sesame oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add curry powder, garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 1 ½ minutes. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili paste. Stir to combine and then cover; cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

VERMICELLI

  • In a large bowl, place vermicelli in enough hot water to cover and soak until noodles are soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a fork or chopstick to separate noodles while in the water.
  • Drain noodles and sprinkle with curry powder until they are evenly colored yellow; set aside.

SINGAPORE

  • In a small bowl, add eggs and beat well before adding a few dashes of fish sauce; stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a large wok over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp. sesame oil. When hot, add onion strips and peppers slices; cook until softened. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute. Add green onions and bean sprouts; stir fry for 3 minutes. Set vegetables aside in a bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tbsp. sesame oil to the wok. Add shrimp and sauté for 30 seconds before adding char siu pork; toss to combine and sauté for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, add egg mixture and stir until scrambled but slightly wet.
  • Return wok on the medium heat, add scrambled eggs and vegetables; toss to combine. Add vermicelli and toss until well combined. Pour in sauce and mix thoroughly to coat noodles. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and fresh chives.

Notes

Footnote: If you need to add more oil to sauté the ingredients, add vegetable oil because too much sesame oil can be overpowering.
