I’ve made this recipe using whole wheat angel hair in place of pre-cooked noodles. It cooks up quickly and works great, especially if you break the dry pasta in half before boiling it, and is probably a little better for you than egg noodles.

I made these and they were delicious.. but I had a lot lrft over and was wondering how long they can be stored in the fridge or can I freeze them?

Hi Lorraine,

I just wanted to let you know I made these last night for a quick dinner after work for my boyfriend, his flatmate and I and we all loved them! I added the tofu you suggested and I think that really improved the recipe as it was filling and tasty. Loved the sesame flavour. I steamed the capsicum and snow peas for a few minutes to soften them up a little as well. This recipe was a definite success and likely to be repeated often, as my boyfriend is veg and I’m not, it’s always exciting to find meals we both love.

Thanks so much your blog, I love it and check it daily

Hi Zoksie-I don’t think it would be pot noodles. I think the ones she means, and the ones I used are the ones that they sell in the supermarket fridge section that are already partially cooked and that just need a couple of minutes in boiling water.

I don’t even know what ready-cooked noodles are – surely this is not the pot-noodle variety???

Please help so that I can at least use the right type of convenience food.

Hi Hazel-Yes I think most of those harder vegetables would benefit from a little prior blanching

I love this recipe but I found the raw mange tout a bit hard going. I recommend blanching them first. Other than that a quick, yummy meal.

Hi Belle-Hehe I can imagine that a vat of these would be too tempting to keep in my fridge!

Hi Nic-I have never made Singapore noodles but my mum is Singaporean so I’ll try and get a good recipe from her (although she keeps them locked away and doesn’t often like giving out recipes)

Hi Sheb-Which are the other recipes? Haha I agree Mangetout could be Mangey trout in the K&K accent. I’m waiting for them to pronounce “tortellini” like “torture-llini” If I ever meet them I’m determined to suggest it to them (although I am not ever likely to meet them)

Awesome; this is in my top 3 Nigella Express recipes to try (I’ve, err, only made 1 out of 3 so far)!

Mangetout = best word ever. Sounds best with a Kath & Kim accent.

It’s a wonder Ms Lawson is not four times the size with the amount she proclaims to eat

After a failed attempt at Singapore Noodles on Saturday night, these look like a good, peanutty alternative!
