What are some easy recipes that include thin rice noodles?

They are the kind you don't cook, but soak in warm water for a few minutes.What are some easy recipes that include thin rice noodles?
Gosh.. I live in Singapore and have never heard of a dish called Singapore noodles. Looking at the recipe also makes me wonder what kind of dish it is. i think someone just wrote a recipe and passed it off as Singapore noodles.


Stir fry the soaked noodles with garlic, omelette, green leafy veggies, dark soy sauce, salt, pepper. Simple.


Throw them into some flavoured clear broth. Like chicken or beef. Add in slices of whatever meat you like, green leafy veggies and spring onions.
