Mie Goreng

Mie goreng simply translates to “fried noodles.” The protein and vegetables are completely interchangeable. The noodles, eggs, sauce, tomatoes and green onions are not. The most important thing to do in this recipe is to prep all of the ingredients before starting the stir fry. You won’t have time to do it as you go since the fried noodles only take 10 minutes to prepare.
