Mee goreng (Fried Noodle)
2 servings of fresh yellow noodles
2 spoons of chili paste
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
4 oz plant-based ‘egg’ – optional
¼ cup pan-fried tofu slices
¼ cup fish cake or fish ball -optional
½ cup bean sprout
Oil for cooking
Sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup*
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 table spoon chili sauce
¼ cup water
Garnishes
Lime wedges calamansi works best
A handful of fried shallots
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until well combined and set aside until ready to use.
Heat a wok with 1 tablespoon of oil, then sauté garlic until aromatic along with chili paste, and noodles,
then stir.
Push the ingredients to the side, add a drizzle of oil (if needed) and pour in the plant-based ‘egg’. Let
the ‘egg’ cook a little to set then bring the noodles to cover the ‘egg’.
Add in the tofu and fishcakes and slowly add in the sauces. Using a wok spatula or tongs, stir-fry while
tossing all the ingredients together until well-combined. Quick tip: Try not to stir too hard or it will break
up the noodles into tiny threads.
Finally, fold in the mung bean sprouts and cook for another minute or so. If you prefer a softer mung
bean sprouts texture, increase the cooking time. Taste test and season to your preference.
Garnish with shredded green lettuce, chili slices, fried shallots, and a squeeze of lime juice before
serving
