Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Palmini 400g
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • 1 shallot sliced
  • 1 garlic clove finely diced OR 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 4 oz shrimp or tofu
  • 1-2 tbsp canola oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

  • 3/4 tbsp hot curry powder I recommend using the one from Penzey's spices
  • 3/4 tbsp mirin easily found at any Asian supermarket
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce I recommend the Thai "Tiparos" brand
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Let's start by getting your Palmini ready. Drain the water out of the can, and then place into a bowl with cold water (enough to cover the Palmini), and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Whilst waiting, slice your bell peppers, shallots, dice the jalapeno and garlic, and chop the green onions. Separate the green onions and place in a small bowl.
  • Now,prepare your sauce--mix together the mirin, fish sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside for now.
  • It's time to cook! Heat a medium sized frying pan with some canola oil and wait until the oil heats up. If you throw some salt in the oil, and it starts sizzling, that's when you know the oil is hot enough.
  • Now, add your shrimp or tofu and cook for about 5-minutes. I like to add garlic, salt and pepper to my stir-fried shrimp or tofu. Once your protein is cooked, place onto a plate and set aside until later.
  • Using the same pan, put in the garlic, shallots, bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook until soft, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the above vegetables have cooked, make some space in your pan, and add some more canola oil. Add in the Palmini (which should be drained of any remaining liquid) about 30-seconds after adding in the oil.
  • Add your curry powder and sauce into the pan and mix everything together until well covered. Add the shrimp, or tofu, back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has almost all absorbed into the vegetable mixture.
  • Transfer the Singapore noodles onto a plate and sprinkle with green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

It's traditional to also enjoy this dish with char siu but you can have whatever protein you want.
Use less hot curry powder if you aren't used to spicy food.
