The ULTIMATE Singapore Mee Siam Recipe!

OPEN for ingredients! Mee Siam is a beloved Malay and Nonya/Peranakan noodle dish of stir fried vermicelli in a deliciously appetising sweet, sour and mildly spicy gravy. In Singapore and Malaysia, Mee Siam is commonly served as a breakfast dish, but it can be a mealtime favourite too.
Mee Siam is named after Thailand's old name, 'Siam'. This is due to the sweet sourness of the tamarind. Funnily enough, you can't find this in Thailand, this is a hawker staple in Singapore and Malaysia.

This dish is similar to Pad Thai but Pad Thai is a dry type of pad Thai. I want to try cooking. Because Thailand doesn't have it to eat easily. 😁

[@NomadettEats]

yes similar! if i replace the sugar with palm sugar, and salt with fish sauce, it will taste even more like pad thai :D
in fact this dish is actually called 'siam' because it's inspired by thai flavours :D

[@ukritchaiwattanakunkit2465]

@@NomadettEats Calamansi lime is not popular to cook in Thailand.
Lime is the first choice. But restaurants like to use lemon powder. because of some season Expensive or some lemons are not as sour as before.
