Chef Mega taught us how to make a flavorful Mie Goreng from whatever is left in your fridge. She added a splash of Pepper RDX to add a deep savory note with a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 200g fresh egg noodles, or dried wheat noodles
- 100g Pepper RDX
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 red chili, finely sliced, optional
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce / kecap manis
- 100g Bean sprouts
- 100g Spinach
Method
- Boil the noodles until just tender, but not soft. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok or wide pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic, shallot, spring onions, and chili, if using. Stir-fry until fragrant and lightly softened.
- Add the light soy sauce, kecap manis, Pepper RDX, and white pepper. Stir to combine into a glossy sauce.
- Add the drained noodles and toss until evenly coated.
- Add in the Pepper RDX, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Add the bean sprouts and toss briefly, keeping them fresh and crisp.
- Add the spinach and stir until just wilted.
