Indonesian Mie Goreng Recipe







Indonesian Mie goreng is a very popular dish across the country, it is perfect recipe meal to add for the daily menu basis at home, it easy to make using very basic ingredients and also allowing you to create any modification according to your liking, such adding some protein or vegetarian version.

When ever I travel to a new places in Indonesia, mie goreng is typical comfort food that is always a safe menu  to be my dish option and keeping me satisfied even perhaps only vegetarian version available.

 I like my mie goreng not too sweet, prefer a slight savoury tasty and spicy or with the bite of chilli, but again its just personal taste. And here I'm sharing my very own version mie goreng recipe, a simple Indonesian dish that most people Indonesia treasured about.

Mie Goreng
Indonesian fried Noodles
   

You need

   200gr fresh/dried yellow egg noodles (as my ideal portions for the serving)
   * I used fresh egg noodles, blanched
   3 cloves garlic, chopped
   3 shallots (bawang merah), slice
    1 heaping cup shredded cabbage
   4-5 coysum, any prefarable greens can be use
   1 stalk leek, cut across
   7 medium-sized prawns, shelled, deveined and cut in half from middle part
   2 tbs sweet soy sauce / kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
   1 tsp fish sauce-(kecap ikan), optional
   1 tbs light soy sauce (kecap asin)
   1/2 tsp white pepper powder
   3 tbs oil for stir fry
   Salt to taste


Steps


Heat the oil in a wok or over high heat, Add garlic and onions--stir-fry until aromatic.

Add the prawns, Stir constantly until the prawns turn to light pink or half cook.

Add the noodle and then toss in all the vegetables

Add sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), salted soy sauce (kecap asin), fish sauce, white pepper and salt.

Stir fry until all are well combine and the noodles are completely coated with sweet soy sauce

Serve immediately 




Note


I love my mie goreng would have a slight texture in a bite and so are the veggies

Present the mie goreng together with Acar ( recipe here ) and prawns crackers would resemble heaven on a plate :))

Location: Denpasar, Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia
