Indian Mee Goreng Recipe (Indian Fried Noodles)
October 5th, 2006Malaysian Food, Recipes, Malaysian Recipes, Recipes32 CommentsThis post has been updated with new photos. Indian mee goreng is the Malaysian version of fried yellow noodles. This “Indian” version is sold by Indian-Malaysian hawkers—a great street food noodle dish that is sure to stir up your appetite.
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, which is fried yellow noodles commonly found in Malaysia, and the word “Indian” basically means that they are prepared by Indian-Malaysian hawkers.

I have two other mee goreng recipes on Rasa Malaysia, which taste different as the recipe can be quite versatile. In any case, mee goreng is always made with yellow noodles, which are available at Asian or Chinese food stores.
Sour, spicy, sweet, and tangy come through in this Indian mee goreng recipe. I love the fried bean curd, potato, and squid (a substitute for baby octopus or cuttlefish). It is really delicious. Enjoy!

Haven’t had that in a while…I think the Edgecumb Road Mee Goreng is the best. Used to eat them…but they have since moved and don’t know where they go. :(
Sure look yummy. Can’t wait for you to post the recipe.

Looks very yummy indeed! I’m going to try the cincaluk tomorrow. Hopefully it turns out good:)

Welcome to Rasa Malaysia. I am away from home, so I have to make do with what I can get in the US in terms of ingredients, etc. so I have to be creative with my cooking some time.
I loved Edgecumb Road Mee Goreng, but I couldn’t find them anymore as they moved a long time ago. If you know, do tell. :)

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,
Emma

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??

Hi! What type of noodles did you use? What brand?
I fell in love with the Fried Noodles served at The Elizabeth Hotel in SG and I want to replicate it…Thanks!
Saw your picture of your noodles here: http://lifeisonebigstage.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/what-are-the-things-that-make-my-diet-go-busted/
For those who live in the US, go to a chinese grocery store and look for “guangoong style dried noodles or similar” It works sooo well. You can get the rest in the same place like saw, tofu, beans sprout. You can use tomato ketchup and the rest of the ingredients in the recipe. I grow my own chille padi and use it.- small world. I have been here for 45 years and I am from KL.
If you break the eggs and pour on the top of the noodles and stir it well, it will be more tastier and creamy ;-)
Nice recipe
So, I was looking for a good indian style mee goreng recipe and I came across your recipe. i continued to look – just to see the difference between the various recipes and I came across this blog: http://farahlittlecorner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/indian-mee-goreng-recipe-indian-fried.html
I know i’m going to sound like im being totally petty but isn’t that your picture!! she did say “Saurce:RasaMalaysia” in her post but… using your pic? just thought i’d let you know.
Div thanks for letting me know. No, you’re not petty, these people who take my recipe and photos are. :)
