Singaporean rice surprisingly does not originate from Singapore! It is a dish popular in Pakistan and India. One look a the dish and your jaws might drop open because it is a dish whose components don’t make any sense but tastes so good! It is an unusual winning combination!

It is a great dish to make when you are bored of eating your regular rice or have some leftover rice in the fridge that you have no idea how to use. Also if you are confused what to make because your family is a rice lover and spaghetti lover just go ahead and make this dish. It combines the two favorite carbs leaving everyone happy.

This multiple layered dish has multiple layers as seen in the picture above:

– The bottom layer is boiled rice which is well seasoned.

– Above the rice are noodles which are also seasoned.

– The noodles are then covered with a saucy chicken layer. Depending on individual preference, the chicken can be substituted with prawns or fish. Vegetarians can replace meat with their favorite type of vegetables, mushrooms or paneer (cottage cheese).

– The final drizzle of spicy mayo is the show stopper.

– Some like to finish it off with deep fried garlic pieces for that extra crunch.

Can Singaporean Rice Be Prepared in Advance?

Yes! You can make all the components of the recipe one day in advance, and then heat everything separately. Layer right before serving.

How To Store Leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. The layers will get scrambled up but it is completely fine, it still tastes great. You can warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop on medium heat.
