Fine rice noodles turn golden with curry powder, tossed with shrimp, ham, soft egg and crisp strips of colorful vegetables.

A dry, fragrant stir-fry is the aim with Singapore noodles with shrimp. The sauce is measured sparingly so the thin strands separate rather than becoming heavy, and the eggs cook first to keep their soft curds distinct.
