• Cooking Oil:
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil (or any cooking oil of your choice)

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Noodles:
   • Soak the rice vermicelli in boiling water for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. If using egg noodles, cook according to package instructions.
2. Marinate the Proteins:
   • Season the chicken and prawns with soy sauce, black pepper, and any preferred spices. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
3. Cook the Proteins:
   • In a large wok or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Scramble an egg (optional) and set aside.
   • Add minced garlic and ginger to the oil, sautéing until fragrant. Then, add the marinated chicken and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
   • Next, add the prawns to the same pan and cook until they turn pink, then remove and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
   • Increase the heat to high and add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and any other vegetables you are using. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Everything:
   • Add the cooked noodles to the pan, followed by the cooked chicken and prawns. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (or brown sugar), sesame oil, curry powder, and crushed pepper flakes. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
6. Final Touches:
   • If using, add the scrambled egg back into the mixture and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Serve:
   • Your Singapore noodles with a Nigerian twist are ready to be served! Enjoy this dish hot, garnished with additional spring onions if desired.
