🇸🇬 Singapore recipe
Mee Rebus
Mee Rebus, meaning 'boiled noodles' in Malay, is a comforting dish of thick yellow noodles in a rich, sweet potato-thickened gravy spiced with dried shrimp, galangal, and chili. The gravy is thick, almost sauce-like, clinging to each strand of noodle. It is a uniquely Malay-Singaporean creation, garnished with hard-boiled egg, fried shallots, Chinese celery, green chilies, and a vital squeeze of calamansi lime that brightens the entire bowl.
