Serious Eats / Melati Citrawireja
Consists of thin wheat or egg noodles stir-fried with garlic shallots vegetables eggs and meat or seafood. Mie goreng is one of Indonesia’s most famous dishes. The sweet and salty noodles are widely eaten across the Indonesian archipelago with variations abounding based on region and individual preference. Versions such as mie goreng sapi (stir-fried noodles with beef) and kwetiau goreng jawa (Javanese stir-fried noodles made with rice noodles) can be found throughout the country. In northern Indonesia there’s mie goreng Aceh a thicker noodle dish with a spicy curry-like flavor that’s named after the province it comes from. Mie goreng is also eaten in other parts of Southeast Asia such as Singapore and Malaysia.
It’s likely that mie goreng was inspired by the fried noodles like chow mein that Chinese immigrants brought with them in the 18th century when many emigrated to Indonesia for mining opportunities. While chow mein is typically made with light and dark soy sauces Indonesian mie goreng calls for kecap manis a thick sweet soy sauce that’s essential to many Indonesian dishes.
