Indonesian fried noodles with egg, vegetables and savoury-sweet sauce

Indonesian favourite

Simple, quick and full of flavour

Mie Goreng is one of Indonesia's best-known noodle dishes. The noodles are fried together with egg, fresh vegetables and garlic.

Sweet soy sauce gives the noodles their characteristic colour and slightly sweet flavour, balanced by salty soy sauce, oyster sauce and tomato sauce.
