Singapore noodles originated from Hong Kong, and today the noodles are ubiquitous throughout Cantonese restaurants. They are seasoned with curry powder while soy sauce and sesame oil combine with Chinese wine to give the noodles richer taste. To finish, they add scrambled eggs. In this recipe, we will have scrambled eggs as an option.
