Mie goreng simply means “fried noodles”, and it is one of the most popular street food dishes in Indonesia. With ABC Instant Fried Noodle and real kecap manis you can recreate that same flavour at home in just 10 minutes. Here is our favourite version.
What you need (2 servings)
- 2 packs ABC Instant Fried Noodle
- 2 eggs
- 1 dl cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 carrot, cut into thin strips
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp ABC Kecap Asin (soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp ABC Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce)
- Neutral oil for frying
How to make it
- Boil the noodles for 2–3 minutes, drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat and stir-fry the garlic until fragrant.
- Push the garlic aside, crack the eggs into the pan and quickly scramble them.
- Add the cabbage and carrot, and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the noodles, kecap asin and kecap manis. Toss well until everything is evenly coated and hot.
- Top with spring onion and serve straight away.
Tips for the best mie goreng
- Use high heat and a large pan, so the noodles fry instead of steaming.
- Feel free to use leftovers like chicken, prawns or tofu. Mie goreng is a great way to clear out the fridge.
- Like it hot? Serve with some fresh chilli on the side.
