Mie Goreng

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.

  • 200g fresh egg noodles, or dried wheat noodles 
  • 100g Pepper RDX 
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil 
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 egg 
  • 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce / kecap manis 
  • 100g Bean sprouts

  1. Boil the noodles until just tender, but not soft. Drain thoroughly and set aside. 
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or wide pan over medium-high heat. 
  3. Add the garlic, shallot, spring onions, and chili, if using. Stir-fry until fragrant and lightly softened.
