Not sure about singapore style but chow mein...

Whatever meat you fancy.
1 Tbsp Soy sauce
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Sugar
8 Fresh mushrooms
1/2 lb Bean sprouts
6 oz Bamboo shoots (can)
3 green onions
2 cup stock (tailor to meat used)
2 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Sesame oil
2 cup dried egg noodles
Deep frying oil

Cut meat into thin strips. Mix the salt, sugar and soy sauce together and mix well, then add the meat and marinate for at least an hour.

Slice the mushrooms, inc the stems and slice the onions into little pieces; soak, rinse and drain the bean sprouts.

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and stock together. Drain the beef reserving the marinade. Heat the sesame oil and stir-fry the beef for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and remaining marinade, bring to a boil stirring constantly; add the vegetables and simmer for 5 minutes longer.

Cook noodles in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes then drain. Deep fry as needed draining on absorbent paper.

Sorry beef, should be meat in the above (can you tell i'm hungry!!)

Apparantly Singapore Chow Mein is made with wheat noodles stir-fried with curry powder, chicken, and vegetables.

err in the chinese near me they make it with pork and prawns and beef and chicken,

just add a bit of chilli to a regular chow mein,

if you're really desperate for the authenticy, i can ring my chinese mate who runs a takeaway, although ill have to ring him later on,..
