Indian Mee Goreng

Mee goreng is very common in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore. It is generally prepared with thin yellow noodles. This is one of my fav because it is mostly spicy and it has all the non-veg ingredients like chicken, fish, prawn. There is no hard and fast rule that you should use only these ingredients, you can add beef, meat balls etc,. In the original recipe they add oyster sause, shao hsing wine, which is not required in the Indian version.

Ingredients
1 lb of yellow noodles
1/2 cup chopped shallots
5 cloves chopped garlic
6 tablespoon chili paste or according to your taste (recipe below)
4 eggs
1/4 cup bean sprouts
1/2 bean curd (tofu) cut into cubes
150 grams prawns
200 grams chicken breast- cut into cubes 
150 grams fish- cut into cubes (optional)
4 tablespoon Spring onions
2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 or 4 tablespoon tomato ketchup
sugar and salt to taste
Cooking oil
1 Lime

Chili paste

Blend 15-20 dried red chilies in a food processor. Add some water and oil to blend well.

Heat the pan and stir fry the paste until the oil separates from paste and set aside.

Method

• Fill the saucepan with water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and allow it to boil and then add noodles, when it is cooked transfer into the cold water, so that the noodles won't be over cooked.
• Heat the pan and pour cooking oil and then crack the eggs, scramble the eggs and set aside. 
• In the same pan add oil, add the bean curd and stir fry till golden brown and keep aside.
• Pour oil in the pan and add finely chopped shallot, garlic, chili paste and stir fry until fragrant.
• Then add pieces of chicken, shrimps, fish and fry till it is cooked.
• Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, sugar and salt, mix it well, then add the noodles and continue stirring.
• Add in the beansprouts and quick stir for another 1 min. Finally add the scrambled egg, fried bean curd. Mix well.
• Serve hot and garnish with chopped spring onions and sliced red chilies. Squeeze some lime juice over the noodles before eating.

Note

• If you have only chicken or shrimps, absolutely not an issue. If you don't like seafood, just do with chicken.
• For Veg, just add 1 whole bean curd instead of half and also add potato.
