How to make Singapore curried noodles

1. Soak noodles in boiling water for 8 minutes and drain thoroughly in cold water. Heat the oil in a wok. When hot and shimmering throw in the chicken and prawns and cook for 1 minute or until they are golden and just cooked. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Add onions, bacon and garlic and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes. Add salt and 2 tablespoons curry powder, and stir-fry for a further minute. Add stock and soy sauce and stir to form a bubbling sauce. Add the noodles and stir to coat with the sauce.

2. Add the beansprouts and spring onions, turn the heat up high and stir-fry all the ingredients together for just over a minute. Add the prawns and chicken back to the pan and combine. Serve straight away.
