Singapore Style Vermicelli (2 syns)

This recipe tastes like it's just come out of a Chinese takeaway. Finally, I found a recipe for this favourite dish of mine that tastes like the real deal!   Of course, leave out the meat if you want to make it vegetarian.

Recipe Notes

If you use the ground nut oil and sesame oil, this works out to be around 2 syns per serving.   Sesame oil does make it taste super nice though.
