Mie Goreng a la Indonesia OK!!
Although rice is the staple food in most of Indonesia, noodles are competing seriously to obtain first place. Different brands of instant noodles are very popular and can be found on the family menu several times a week.
It's not difficult to prepare fried noodles, known as bakmi (or simply mi) goreng. Here is a basic recipe that you can experiment with.
Ingredients: egg noodles, red onions, garlic, pepper candle nuts, salt, sweet soy sauce, some shredded chicken and a bit of vegetables, such carrots, podded peas, or leek.
Boil the noodles according to the instructions. Meanwhile clean and finely cut the red onions, garlic, pepper, kemiri (two candle nut will do for four servings) and salt. If you're in a hurry just put it all in a blender.
With the noodles done and waiting, stir fry the blended condiment mix, chicken and your selection of finely cut vegetables. Add the noodles, stir well and serve steaming hot.
Add a fried egg and sprinkle fried onions on top and you're done.
Experiment freely with a combination of vegetables or use pork or shrimp instead of the chicken.
