Wonton noodles probably need no introduction, and for many people, this is an everyday dish. And I am no different, breakfast for me every day I am in Singapore, is this world-famous dish, created all over South East Asia. However, I believe the one that Singapore Hawkers create, is the best in the world.
Whenever I am travelling I fill up whatever freezer space I have with wontons. I will make up a batch of these and freeze for whenever I get home late and hunger descends. I also keep leftover Char Siew Pork in the freezer for such an occasion. This recipe is easy if you have these two ingredients pre-made and in the freezer.
And if you don’t, and hunger has already struck you. Jump on foodpanda and order some from Ji Ji Noodle House. These guys can sort out those tummy grumbles with their choices of noodle dishes.
