For this month’s Secret Recipe Club I got to take a mini trip around the world with Tara’s Multicultural Table. Tara actually has a similar background to me, including Filipino, Japanese, German, and the Southern United States. Her passion for different cultures through food is apparent through her delicious blog. Looking through her recipe index was painful — there were so many things that I wanted to make, how could I choose between Northern Thai Curry, Mango Cinnamon Basil Smoothie, Afghani Kebab with Gravy, Macarons with Vanilla Cream Cheese Filling, Yaki Udon, Cong You Bing (Scallion Pancakes), or Sichuan Wontons in Chili Sauce.
My decision was made instantly easier when I spotted her recipe for Curried Vegetable Noodles.
One of our favorite dishes to get when we order takeout or visit the local dim sum restaurant is Singaporean Curry Noodles. It has the perfect level of spiciness (flavor, not heat) and the little nuggets of meat and vegetables break up the monotony of the noodles. I was a bit lazy and used some stir fry vegetables and packaged sauce from Trader Joe’s, but I counter-acted that laziness by topping the noodles with some home-grown Thai Basil.
To make it closer to the takeout version, throw some chicken, pork, or shrimp in with the noodles. Or, as my fiancé suggested, the addition of some egg would add a nice amount of protein.

What a great pick this month! Looks flavorful and delicious!
LOVE Singapore noodles and this looks amazing – what a great SRC pick! Karen
I absolutely love this type of recipe, even though the list of ingredients makes me think twice before cooking it on a weeknight – but it is soooo worth it!
great photo! Worthy of a cooking magazine…
Sally, this is super fast to come together if you use a pre-made veggie mix like I did!
Yum! I love making “takeout” type dishes at home because you can control what goes into them. This noodle dish sounds awesome! Great pick!!
I love stir fry type dishes. This sounds like something that would quickly become a favorite in our house! Great pick this month 🙂
Sounds delicious. Happy Reveal Day
I like the shortcut you took with the veggies. Nice pick from Tara’s blog!
I always look forward to your reveal day posts. You always pick some fantastical dishes. I also really enjoyed having your blog because I was able to save some recipes that were outside my comfort zone. This one is outside my comfort zone, but it looks so so so good and I MUST try it! 🙂
My goodness, that looks seriously good. Singapore noodles is one of my favourites too on the rare occasion that we get takeout, so I know I would love this dish.
I just had my first experience cooking with these noodles in a curry dish and loved them. These sound delicious!!!
I love Tara’s blog. Happy August Reveal!
Seriously, I want to DIVE into your main photo! Great SRC pick.
Ah, my very first blog post! So glad you enjoyed it!
Also wanted to add, I just moved to the DC area!
