Mie Goreng Jawa - Javanese Fried Noodles


This is one of Indonesia's famous dish of all time. Everybody loves this, and every house has its own recipe. I dunno why they call it Mie goreng jawa (Java's fried noodle), because i am sure the one from Sumatera or Bali is not that different. Anyway, i got this recipe from a friend of mine, Lita, the one who came from Surabaya and who gave me the sayur asam recipe. She got the recipe from a mie goreng street vendor. I added coriander seeds to the original recipe, and got very satisfied with the result.

Ingredients:

  • 1package of fresh egg noodles (i used dried normal flour noodles - without the egg) 
  •  100 gr shrimps washed and shelled
  • 2 eggs, whisked roughly
    200 gr cabbage, cut roughly
    200 gr mustar greens, cut
  • 1 stalk of chive sliced 
  • 1 tsp of salt
    Indonesian sweet soja sauce / kecap (i used 2 tbs) 
  • cooking oil 

Seasoning:
  • grind the following:
    3 candlenut pecan (Aleurites moluccana),
  • 3 cloves of garlic 
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 Chilli 

Method:
  1. Boil the noodles half done. Add 1 tbs of cooking oil, stir evenly.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan, add seasoning, sauté until fragrant. Add the  shrimp. And then add eggs, stir just a little bit.
  3. Add the veggies, and throw in salt. stir well.
