  • 3/4 cup cut cabbage (about 2 ounces)

How To Make mie goreng (indonesian fried noodles)

  • 1
    In a food processor or using a mortar and pestle, grind the garlic, nuts and pepper until it becomes a thick, natural peanut butter type textured, paste.
  • 2
    Heat cooking oil in a wok. Add the spice and garlic paste; once it is fragrant (very quickly – less than a minute), add the chicken. Cook over medium heat until it is opaque; add the shrimp, and cook until done.
  • 3
    In a steady stream, pour the chicken stock into the wok. Add the cabbage and any vegetables that require a longer cooking time. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it boil for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • 4
    Increase the heat back to medium-high, and add the noodles. Add the sweet soy sauce, and stir everything together. Let the noodles cook for as long as you’d like: If you prefer them more wet, a shorter cook time, or you can cook them until they’re quite dry.
  • 5
    Once the noodles have reached your desired level of dryness, add the sprouts and greens. Cook until the greens have wilted, just a minute or two.
  • 6
    Garnish with shrimp chips, a fried egg or tomato slices. If you prefer spicy, serve with a side of sambal or hot sauce.
