Singapore-style noodles (Chinese: 星洲炒米; pinyin: xīngzhōu chǎomǐ; Jyutping: sing1 zau1 caau2 mai5) is a dish of stir-fried cooked rice vermicelli, curry powder, vegetables, scrambled eggs and meat, most commonly char siu pork, and/or prawn or chicken.

Singapore noodles are a Cantonese creation, and are common in Cantonese-style and takeaway restaurants in Hong Kong.

The dish dates back to just after World War II, having been developed by Cantonese chefs who wanted ways to use curry powder—which had been introduced through the British colonies.

The dish itself has no connection to Singapore, where it is not well-known. There is a similarly-named stir-fried noodle dish known as Xingzhou mifen (星洲米粉) or Xing Chow bee hoon, where Xingzhou is a poetic name for Singapore, in neighbouring Malaysia.
