Mee Goreng (Malay Stir-Fry Noodles)
Mee Goreng, a meal that immediately transported me to the food streets of Kuala Lumpur balance of sweet, Savoury, and spicy.
Ingredients
- Yellow noodles, or any noodles.
- 2 tbsp soy sauce.
- 2 tbsp sweet sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
- 3 red chilies.
- 5 cloves of garlic.
- 1 cup of mushroom.
- Lime wedges for a garnish.
- Scallion for a garnish
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Start by cooking the yellow noodles until they're just right—that beautiful al dente texture. Drain and set them aside when they're done. We'll come back to these soon.
- Now it's time to give our noodles some flavour. Toss 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a heated pan. That's the groundwork for that satisfying umami taste. Don't forget to include 2 teaspoons of sweet or teriyaki sauce. Allow that to come to a simmer and cook for a few minutes. It's like there's a flavor party going on right in your pan.
- Chop 3 red chilies and 5 garlic cloves. It's time to add some heat and that fragrant kick. Toss them in the pan and watch the magic unfold. Sauté until your kitchen is filled with those mouthwatering aromas.
- Let us now bring some earthy, creamy goodness. Add a cup of mushrooms. Any type will suffice—pick whichever one's your favourite! Allow them to simmer until soft and immersed in all the flavorful goodness.
- Remember those boiled noodles that we saved? It is now their turn to shine. Toss them in the pan and let them join the deliciousness. Twist and swirl until every strand are coated with the delicious sauce and infused with the diversity of flavors.
- Finally, place your Malaysian Mee Goreng on a platter and decorate with lime wedges. The zesty zing will elevate this meal to new heights. Squeeze some lime, fill your plate, and dig in.
