Mee Goreng Ayam
Description
Mee Goreng is a popular Southeast Asian dish that translates to "fried noodles" in Malay. It's a flavorful stir-fry of noodles, typically made with thin yellow wheat noodles and protein of choice. Here we use Chicken(Ayam).
Ingredients:
To Marinate Chicken:
Instructions
-
Cut the chicken into small strips and apply all ingredients for the 'Marinade. Set aside till all other ingredients are 'wok ready'.
-
'Place the fresh noodles in a bowl of cool water to soften it. Gently rinse under running water to separate the strands. Put back in bowl of water and add some hot water to the bowl. This removes the oily residue and smell of the packed egg noodles.
-
Drain and keep aside. If using dried noodles, cook according to package instructions and drain into a colander. Rinse under running water to stop the cooking process, so that the noodles do not stick.
-
Heat oil in a wok (about 1 Tbsp). Â Add the eggs and scramble till set, and remove from wok. Set aside.
-
Wipe the wok clean and add 5Â more tbsp oil. Heat.
-
Add the marinated chicken and fry till cooked tender and slightly golden along the edges. This does not take very long. There should be a soupy gravy coating the chicken and it should not be cooked dry.
-
Remove from wok and set aside with egg.
-
Wipe down the wok once again and add another 3 Tbsp oil. Heat.
-
Add the sliced yellow onion and allow to soften.
-
Add garlic and cook till the raw smell is gone.
-
Now add chilli paste. Cook till fragrant.
-
Add the strained tamarind water. Loosen any bits stuck to the wok as the solution boils up.
-
Add cabbage and fry for 10 seconds.
-
Now add the noodles and toss well till uniformly coated. Careful not to break up the noodles too much.
-
Add ketchup, soy sauce, and white pepper. Keep tossing till heated through and covered with oil and sauces.
-
Return the fried chicken and egg. Toss once more to incorporate.
-
Optional: Add the liquid smoke. This is my trick and it gives a lovely aroma to the noodles.
-
Lastly, add the beansprout and set aside.
-
Garnish with some extra beansprout, chives/ spring onion and a wedge of lime.
Note
- You can add some seafood like prawns or squid, which is very popular too. My family prefers it with just chicken. Fried tofu puffs can be added too.
- Key Ingredients: Egg Noodles, Chicken, Egg, Chilli Paste, Soy, Ketchup, Tamarind, oil, White Pepper, Spring Onion,
Excellent and much useful post
Many times I visited your site and searched for Meegoreng… I was happy to see you finally added the recipe. I tried it today and it is the best i ever made. Perfect balance. btw i also try many of your recipes and love them. Thank you. Could you please put recipe for Mee Siam?
Sorry, it didn’t work for me. The flavors were off and turned out tasteless although i followed the recipe to the T. This has happened for the 3rd or 4th time for recipes tried from your site. The pics look great & tempting but the outcome is mediocre and disappointing.
Hi, sorry you have not achieved your desired results. This Mee goreng is not the Red and sweet Mamak version . It is a milder version.
I have not had this type of complaint on my site to date, so perhaps the taste profile you are in search of is quite different, I am sure there are plenty of great sites out there that can give you what you are after. Thank you.
