Chinese New Year Recipes: Singapore Noodles

I love creating a delicious and festive menu for Chinese New Year and so I wanted to share a couple of my favorite Chinese New Year recipes with you. I’ll begin with my recipe for Singapore Noodles. This dish is aromatic with curry and garlic and has a warm nutty taste from the sesame oil.

Below are the ingredients and video instructional. I lost the footage of the last scene so if you’re following along the last steps are really simple. You just incorporate the sugar, sesame oil, and green onions into the mixture. Give it a toss and remove from the heat. You don’t want the green onions to be more raw/fresh than cooked. This recipe is meant to feed a lot of people 8-10 servings so if you want to create a 4-6 serving size just cut the measurements in half.

2021 is the year of the Ox which is the sign that I and my youngest son, Jack, fall under. Do you know what sign you were born under? Happy New Year!
