Singapore noodles have become a very popular Asian noodle dish, especially here in the US. You might think that Singapore Noodles originate from Singapore. But the truth is, you’ll very likely have difficulty finding this dish anywhere in Singapore.

This popular noodle recipe was actually created by chefs in Hong Kong and Singapore Noodles commonly appear on the menus of many eateries all over Hong Kong.

Singapore noodles are typically made with stir-fried rice vermicelli noodles (thin rice noodles) and the curry flavoring makes this dish distinctive. There are quite a few varieties of this noodle dish, sometimes accompanied with shrimp, beef or small slices of chicken. And Singapore Noodles can be served as a vegetarian dish without any meat as well.

At Rachada Thai Cuisine, we make our special Singapore Noodles with thin glass noodles called woon sen in Thai. Thai glass noodles are made from mung beans and are a delicious and healthy noodle variety.

We flavor our Singapore Noodles with a special Thai yellow curry, bean sprouts, chicken and green onions for a truly delicious variation of this popular dish.

There really is no other citrus substitute that can replace the distinctive flavor of the Kaffir lime.

Surprisingly, the juice of the Kaffir lime is not actually used that often in Thai dishes. Rather, the Kaffir leaves (bai magrood) and the zest of the Kaffir lime peel (pew magrood) are the more commonly used parts of the fruit that introduce the unmistakable and unique essence to many Thai dishes.

The leaves of the Kaffir lime tree are dark green in color with a glossy sheen.  The leaf is actually made up of two parts. The top part is more pointed at the tip and is attached to a more rounded bottom portion of the leaf.  The leaf imparts a sweet, lemony fragrant essence to soups, salads, curries and stir-fried dishes.

The Kaffir lime peel is even more fragrant than the leaves with an exotic flavor that is uniquely different from the zest of other citrus fruit. Along with lemon grass and galanga, kaffir lime peel is a key ingredient in many Thai curries.

Kaffir lime, like many Thai herbs and foods, is known to have traditional medicinal qualities as well. Kaffir lime juice is used to promote gum health and is recommended for use in brushing teeth and gums. The oils in the fruit are blended into various ointments, and the rind is found in medicinal tonics believed to be good for the blood. Similar to lemon grass and galanga, the rind is also said to benefit the digestive system.

At Rachada Thai Cuisine, you can enjoy the distinctively Thai flavor of the Kaffir lime in many of our dishes.
