Does technology ever make you feel anxious? The dread from a drop in Instagram engagement? Or perhaps the obligation to respond to a work email on the weekend?

Technology has connected us in ways we never thought possible. We have knowledge at the tips of our fingertips. The ability to speak to individuals from any country and have anything we want delivered to our door. Like all things in life, this accessibility comes at a cost. Misinformation, the sale of our personal information, and loneliness has been defined as the next public health epidemic, yet we’ve never been more connected. With applications designed to capture our attention, technology related problems is real. But, do you think it would be possible to live in a world without it? I’m not naive enough to believe that this is the answer.

With the negative elements technology attributes to, there are also many positives. Many people use this tool to operate their business, organise social gatherings and coordinate pickups if their children are sick. But, that’s the thing – technology is a tool. The problem isn’t technology itself, but rather how we choose to use it. As we “Marie Kondo” our houses to find space in our physical world, what if we placed the same intention towards our digital worlds?

Last month, I started a digital detox. I transferred my phone to grey-scale, turned off my notifications and I deleted my applications. Gradually I’ve reinstalled the apps I need. It’s been an interesting experiment, a form of digital minimalism. It’s been liberating to reevaluate what’s important to me and what holds purpose. Since starting, I feel more focused on the applications which add value. What impacts my closest relationships, my health and my creative projects. Even though technology can impact my life, it doesn’t have to be a negative influence. I have the power to choose.

A major decision from this detox was to delete UberEats, permanently. As much as I loved my Friday-night noodles, ordering take-away does not align with my values. It does not promote social gatherings, it’s mostly delivered with single-use plastic and the food is rarely healthy. Instead, I learned how to make my own Friday-night noodle box. I can say with complete confidence that this Singapore Noodles Stir-fry is better than Chinese Takeaway! 

What’s even better is that it’s healthy, perfect for gatherings with friends and it’s easy to put together with the veggies you have available in the fridge! I’m sure you’ll love this recipe as much as I do. πŸ™‚

Vegan Singapore Noodles FAQ & Tips!

Singapore Noodles Ingredients

Singapore Noodles are traditionally prepared with thin rice noodles like vermicelli, shrimp, Chinese BBQ pork, egg, capsicum (bell peppers) and the famous Singapore Noodles sauce.

What’s fantastic about this recipe is that it’s adaptable to whatever vegetables you have available! For an easy Vegetarian Singapore Noodle or Vegan Singapore Noodle variation, replace the shrimp and pork with a mouth-watering Chinese BBQ Char Siu Tofu.

Are Singapore Noodles Gluten-Free?

When consuming a gluten-free diet, it’s necessary to check all listing on each ingredient to ensure it’s aligned with your nutritional restrictions.Β 

The key ingredients to look out for are:

Noodles – Although vermicelli noodles are traditionally gluten-free, many brands include gluten as a filler. Be sure to purchase a gluten-free brand or one without gluten ingredients.

Soy Sauce – Surprisingly most soy sauce brands contain gluten. If you’re mindful of your gluten intake, Tamari sauce is a perfect alternative.

    This looks delicious but I don’t believe rice bran oil is GF making it safe for those with celiac disease or intolerant to gluten.

      Thanks so much for your comment!

      To confirm, Rice Bran Oil is made from the outer husk from rice, making it naturally gluten-free. It’s worth noting however that while rice bran oil is naturally gluten-free, it can be irritating to people who have sensitivities. As mentioned in the post, when consuming a gluten-free diet, please check the ingredient listing on all your products to ensure it’s aligned with your dietary restrictions and preferences.

      If you’re one of the unlucky people who can’t consume rice-bran oil, I empower you to substitute it for another oil. Another favourite of mine is sesame oil. Good luck and happy cooking! πŸ™‚
