Curry Noodles

November 29, 2017 | Recipe by Bake with Paws



My mother in-law just bought a Phillips Noodle Maker few weeks ago and we have been experimenting and making different types of homemade noodles. I cooked this curry soup for the homemade noodles. I particularly like this curry noodle soup as it is combination of Malaysian and Thai styles. I have not yet shared noodle recipe here as I am still fine tuning the recipe for the noodle maker.  You may click here for my homemade noodle recipe I shared sometimes ago if you like to make your own noodles.

  1. Hi YL, was just wondering whether your curry noodles recipe is similar to Penang curry mee. I was searching for a good Penang curry mee and decided to check out whether our amazing Bake with Paws chef had one. I am yearning for it! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!!!

    1. Hi Petra,
      Thank you for your support.
      This recipe is different from Penang Curry Mee. This one is for Thai and Nyonya Style. To be honest, I still don't know how to cook Penang white curry mee. lol

      I hope you will find the Penang Curry Mee recipe soon.

      Cheers :)
