Singapore-style noodles (Chinese: 星洲炒米; pinyin: xīngzhōu chǎomǐ; Jyutping: sing1 zau1 caau2 mai5; Cantonese Yale: Sīngjāu cháaumáih) is a dish of stir-fried cooked rice vermicelli, curry powder, vegetables, scrambled eggs and meat, most commonly char siu pork, and/or prawn or chicken.[1]
Singapore-style noodles are a Cantonese creation, and are common in Cantonese-style and takeaway restaurants in Hong Kong.[2] [3]
The dish dates back to just after World War II, having been developed by Cantonese chefs who wanted ways to use curry powder—which had been introduced through the British colonies.[4]
The dish itself has no connection to Singapore, where it is not well-known.[3] There is a similarly-named stir-fried noodle dish known as Xingzhou mifen (星洲米粉) or Xing Chow bee hoon, where Xingzhou is a poetic name for Singapore, in neighbouring Malaysia.[5]
