Singapore Fried Noodles

Singapore fried vermicelli is a Hong Kong café favourite and does not originate in Singapore at all. This super popular noodle dish is incredibly easy to make at home. Make sure to prepare all your ingredients before cooking, because the stir frying part goes by very fast. You’ll be so delighted, you’ll never order it again.
