Singapore Beef and Rice Noodles
This classic of Singapore street food marries Indian flavors with Chinese cuisine. Chinese ingredients like soy sauce and sesame oil are the ideal compliment to Indian curry.
But the best part of this dish is how easy it is to prepare. Simply soak the rice noodles in warm water while you prepare the other ingredients. Singapore Beef and Rice Noodles pairs well with sambal, a Southeast Asian chili-based condiment.
