"The origins of this dish are unclear but one thing is for sure, you won’t find it in Singapore. A classic Canto-western comfort food—like chow mein and sweet and sour pork—the noodles’ signature golden hue comes from curry powder, which adds spicy, earthy notes to the whole dish. We used shrimp here, but feel free to swap in chicken, beef, tofu, or if you’re lucky to have a Chinese butcher near you, char siu pork. Be careful to soak and not boil the noodles, as they cook and get sticky quickly!"
