The three dishes from Singapore documented in Copper are Bak kut teh, Chilli crab and Hainanese chicken rice. Garlic and ginger each appear in more than one recipe. Two of the three are simmered. Not one needs an oven — they cook entirely on the hob. Between them they use 24 different ingredients.
The three recipes need 24 ingredients between them, of which 4 are shared by more than one dish. Spring onions is the hardest to find: of the 588 dishes in Copper's atlas, 5 use spring onions. Every ingredient list on this page is complete, with quantities, and free to read.
Chilli crab is the quickest at 45 minutes. Bak kut teh is the longest at 120 minutes, most of it unattended. The median is 90 minutes — a weekend dish rather than a weeknight one.
None of the dishes from Singapore here is rated easy, but every one has the full method written out step by step, free to read. Chilli crab is the shortest way in.
