Indian Mee Goreng Recipe (Indian Fried Noodles)
October 5th, 2006 | Malaysian Food | 26 Comments
It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had much time to cook. However, food is food; you have to satiate your hunger regardless of how busy you are.
I wanted to prepare something not overly complicated yet different tonight so I cooked up this nice serving of Indian Mee Goreng.
Sour, spicy, sweet, and tangy come through in this dish. I loved the fried bean curd, potato, and squid (a substitute for baby octopus or cuttlefish). Indian Mee Goreng is darn delicious.
Recipe: Mee Goreng
Ingredients:
Cooking Oil
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
3 tablespoons of chili paste or to taste (recipe below)
1 lb of Yellow Noodles (rinsed)
3 pieces of dried bean curds (cut into pieces)
1 potato (boiled, peeled, and sliced)
2 eggs
4 squids (cleaned and cut into rings)
A handful of bean sprouts
1 stalk of spring onion (cut into small pieces for garnishing purposes)
2 red chilies (sliced for garnishing purposes)
1 lime (cut into wedges)
Sauces:
2 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce or kecap manis
3 tablespoon of tomato ketchup
Sugar and salt to taste
Chili Paste:
Blend 10 dried red chilies in a food processor. Add some water and some oil to blend well. Heat the wok and “tumis” (stir fry) the paste until the oil separates from paste. Set aside.
Heat the wok and pour in the cooking oil. Add garlic, 3 tablespoons of chili paste, sliced potatoes, bean curb pieces, and squids. Stir fry until fragrant. Add yellow noodles and sauces and continue stirring. Set the noodles to the side of the wok.
Add some cooking oil and then crack the eggs. Scramble the eggs and mix in with the noodles. Add in the beansprouts and quick stir for another 1 minute. Serve hot and garnish with chopped spring onions and sliced red chilies. Squeeze some lime juice over the noodles before eating.
Note: Indian Mee Goreng is Malaysian dish. Created by Mamak (Indian-Muslim in Malaysia), it cannot be found in India.

Hi – i just love mee goreng and want to make this at home, but we don’t get yellow noodles here – what would be a good substitute? that is, would any thick noodle do?
thanks!

I’m an Aussie who has had a passion for Malaysian hawker food ever since working in a Malaysian restaurant called Chinta Blues ten years ago… I also love Indonesian food, in fact the whole SE Asia region!
I cooked mee goreng last night using your recipe to resounding applause. I put fried shallots on top and included green beans, excluded squid because I was cooking for a vegetarian. I remembered that at Chinta Blues they included fresh tomato. I find that the key ingredient (not always listed in recipes) is ketchup.
Cheers,

I lived in Brunei was 9 years and used to get this from the Tamu over the weekends! Tried this recipe out last night and my family LOVED it. A couple of changes I made though…
○ Since I was cooking for my family, I used a two pound pack of noodles
○ I substituted the potato for Crimini mushrooms (which gave a nice meaty but light texture), and
○ doubled the quantity of the squid (since my family LOVES squid)
○ Also, for the chili paste, I used far more than ten chilies.
My Mee Goreng came out super spicy but it was pretty darn tasty. If I do say so myself :)
may i know what’s the serving??
made this today and mum lovd it… i forgot to put salt so i added it later and added beans to it too. it was yummm……. thank you …..
