Mie goreng (Indonesian noodles)

Mie goreng, also known as mee goreng or bakmi goreng, Indonesian stir-fry noodle dish. While travelling through Indonesia you can easily found it in any street market, sold by food vendors. I can’t travel right now so the only option to taste these noodles is to cook it myself. 

What I like the most about this dish is how flavorful and easy to make it is and the best part – you can play with different ingredients. 

This time for mie goreng I used chicken and eggs, but for the vegan version exclude them, also oyster sauce can be substituted with hoisin.

The best thing you can do with leftover rice – make fried rice :). This dish is always a savior for me when I have no idea what to cook and have some rice in my fridge (also, when I want to clean my fridge a little bit). I love how versatile it can be, you can play with ingredients and find the best flavors. 

Today’s dish – nasi goreng (it literally translates to fried rice). The key to this dish is a sauce and old rice.

Gado gado (literally translates to “mix-mix”) – delicious indonesian salad. In this dish you can use different veggies, what you have in your fridge. The main star is peanut sauce, it transforms salad to a very fulfilling meal. These salads have very different textures that just work perfectly together: softness of eggs and boiled potatoes, crunchiness of tofu and prawn crackers, juiciness of fresh veggies and sauce creaminess.  

For the vegan version don’t use eggs and replace prawns crackers with thin rice crackers. You can change ingredients, however, I think potatoes and tofu or tempeh are essential.
