Singapore Curry Noodles -Instant Pot

Singapore Curry Noodles (Instant Pot)September is turning out to be a mixed month. Full of challenges and possibilities. I capped off a busy week with my first copies of Instant Indian and a bright and comforting bowl of Singapore Curry Noodles. Today as we savored the leftovers for lunch, we also enjoyed the weather and some lovely music courtesy the White Plains Jazz Festival.  Mostly, via trying to find something affordable and fun to do today. Honestly, the county and area offers so much, most of the time we do not take the time to appreciate it.

I have also spent some time reflecting how much sharing food and thoughts on this space means to me.  In weeks that are reflective and not all that they could be, I realize that this space, cooking and food writing is one of the few things that I do for myself. It is my creative spot, my very own space that I carve out for myself.  Probably why I have sustained this activity so well for myself. Amidst good and bad times. Probably, largely supported by this blog’s biggest fan – my son Aadi.

Singapore Curry Noodles

I am still working through all the piles of things that seem to be around in my pantry.  The timing could not have been better. I can use the time and effort saved to focus on other things. The next few weeks are guaranteed to be busy ones. Hopefully, well worth the time and effort spent in the long run. I have been sleeping a lot lately. One of my favorite things to do when things are turbulent.

Back to these curry noodles, at one point of time, they used to be something that was a staple for Anshul and I, whenever we went out. I am glad to come up with a from the scratch version. Done in about 20 minutes flat.

Other noodle recipes that are interesting are these coconut curry noodles and this Thai Curry Noodle Soup.
