Mie Goreng

Mie goreng is a popular Indonesian dish that translates to "fried noodles" in English. It is a flavorful and versatile stir-fried noodle dish that can be found throughout Indonesia, including Bali. Mie goreng is often enjoyed as a street food or a quick and satisfying meal.

The dish typically consists of egg noodles that are stir-fried with a combination of ingredients and seasonings. The noodles are boiled until they reach a tender consistency before being stir-fried in a wok or frying pan.

Mie goreng can be customized with a variety of ingredients based on personal preference or regional variations. Common additions include vegetables like cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and scallions. Proteins such as chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu are often included to make the dish more substantial. Some variations may also incorporate ingredients like sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or fried shallots.

The dish is flavored with a combination of sauces and seasonings, which may include soy sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), oyster sauce, chili sauce, and sometimes shrimp paste or fish sauce. These ingredients give mie goreng its savory, slightly sweet, and umami-rich taste.
