Mee Goreng

melting pot's Note:

Reminds me most pleasantly of SE Asia, with the most intoxicating smell... Note: It's a stir-fry, so you can add anything you want e.g 1 potato, some shrimp, chicken or other meat, other vegetables etc.

It's a filling dish, I suggest you add a bit of ground white pepper towards the end of stir frying, it does wonders and serve with a sprinkle of fried shallots, DH loves it. Thanks for the great post!

It was a little tricky to make because my pan was on the small side for it... definitely tastier than the restaurant version (my first encounter with mee goreng). Not too spicy; I left out the ketchup (didn't have any) and sort of missed it. Definitely a repeat.
