The Idea of making this appetizer super easy is actually derived when I find out my days moving too fast. Everything falling into high-speed, I’m fully occupied with the housework and errands.

This is not very difficult dish to cook, as you can call it as a super duper easy fried chicken noodle. To me, it’s included to be a yummy Indonesian dish, fresh and very quick to serve.

My version of chicken veggie noodles base on my mother mie goreng jawa (Java style fried noodles), the only different I’ve made is the use of the noodles. I use veggie noodles made from spinach, its no artificial flavouring and no artificial coloring, its really great choice and it widely available in the Island, while my mother always use fresh/dried yellow egg noodles.  To be honest, I'm spoiled by my mother home cook food, everything she cooked always turns so special and d...
