Singapore Rice Noodles
If you've ever ordered Singapore Rice Noodles at a Chinese restaurant, you'd know that it is delicious! The noodle is flavored with curry powder and infused with ginger and garlic. This is a great noodle dish and very easy to prepare. It takes about an hour from start to finish. Peeling and deveining the shrimp is time-consuming - it takes about 30mins. If you have the shrimp ready to go, then this dish will only take about 30 mins!Ingredients for Singapore Rice Noodles

NOTES:
- When cooking rice noodles, do NOT boil them! (I made this mistake the first time I tried cooking with rice noodles - not good)
- Turn your tap to the hottest setting and let the water run till it's as hot as it'll get.
- Fill a pot with the hot water, place your rice noodle into the pot, making sure that the hot water completely covers the noodles.
- Let it stand for 10 minutes - this is the magic number.
- Drain after 10 minutes.
- If you're wondering what rice noodles look like, here's what we can get at the local grocery store:
- The amount of curry powder is totally up to you. If you like spicy food, you can add more if you like. If you do not like curry powder, either reduce the amount or eliminate completely.
- The chicken broth can be replaced with plain water if desired. I often do this and the Singapore Rice Noodles taste just as good.
