Who does not like noodles? I know my husband and I like them A LOT! My kids like them too, therefore it makes things a little easier in my household since you can fix up noodles so many different ways! Like this Singapore noodles, they are so flavorful due to curried flavors and also nourishing due to lots of veggies including edamame and curried tofu added to it! It is also a good dish to prepare ahead of time.
