Mie Ayam Recipe - Indonesian style chicken noodles

This is one of my favourite home cook recipe, "mie ayam" Indonesian style chicken noodles specifically of Chinese Indonesian way of cooking (Chinese Indonesian style chicken noodles), and to recall the history is that Chinese Indonesians are ethnically Chinese people living in Indonesia, where on centuries ago, overseas Chinese migration thus Chinese Indonesian cuisine that characterised by the mixture of Chinese with local Indonesian style.

To make the homemade version of this dish is very easy, and my recipe definitely easy to follow

I learned this dish from my girlfriend who ever open the noodles house restaurant back in 2002. 
She made her own fresh homemade noodles everyday and the egg noodles recipe has been passed down to the family through generations.
