Mee Goreng Recipe

Mee Goreng a.ka Mi Goreng is a stir fry noodle recipe that is popular in both Singapore and Malaysia. Mee Goreng literally translates as Fried noodles. It is slightly spicy tossed with some protein and vegetables. There are so many variations of this Mee Goreng but this is a fairly basic recipe. Delicious nevertheless!!!

So, how is Ramadan treating you guys? The weather has been really hot over here. It actually gave me more reasons to make jugs of this Watermelon Coconut Cooler and also Melon and Cucumber Aqua Fresca. Anything to beat the heat! Come to think of it, we do not fast for such long hours compared to other parts of the world. Basically, we fast for about 14 hours only, which is really manageable. 🙂

Anyways, back to this Mee Goreng recipe. Just as I’ve said earlier, there are no exact rules about what goes in this dish. I used prawns, fishcake and fish ball. Feel free to use beef, chicken or even different types of seafood. In fact, you can just use eggs too or go completely vegetarian.

Mee Goreng might be a “street food” but you can definitely re-create this at the comfort of your home with this quick Mee Goreng Recipe. Although I have used yellow noodles in this, this recipe works with almost any kind of noodles, even your humble instant noodles.
