Mee Goreng Kari (Curry Fried Noodles)


This is an alternative way of cooking Maggi curry noodles (or any other brand instant curry noodles for that matter). Its yummy, and a rather nice change from the usual Maggi curry ;) Credits for the recipe goes to IBU :D Scale up the recipe as needed. The one below will serve one person. Add more noodles as needed.

What you need:
1 pack Maggi instant curry noodles
Sweet soy sauce (kicap manis)
1 serving scrambled eggs
1 onion, sliced
Small chicken pieces (optional)
Oil, for frying

What you do:

  1. Cook the noodles in boiling water. Drain and rinse in cold water thoroughly. Reserve the seasoning powder packet.
  2. In a wok (or frying pan), heat up some oil.
  3. Add the onions and fry until slightly softened. Add the chicken pieces and fry until cooked.
  4. Add the noodles. Sprinkle the curry seasoning to taste, and mix thoroughly. I don't suggest you add the whole packet, it would be too salty. About a quarter to slightly under a half a packet should be fine.
  5. Drizzle the soy sauce, to taste, and mix throughly.
  6. Add the eggs, and stir to mix. Serve immediately.

And there you go! It looks like normal fried noodles, but it defnitely has its own flavour. We usually have this for breakfast (Bruneian breakfasts...so heavy... tsk) but it would be ideal for lunch or dinner as well. In fact, I usually have this as lunch in UK, if I have time to cook, that is. For some reason or other, my noodles always start to stick together once I add it into the wok, but ibu says to just wash wash wash it thoroughly. So yea...you have been warned. :P Go easy in the curry seasoning as well. Once, Hadi put in the whole packet. It may taste nice when diluted with water, but trust me, its too salty if you just sprinkle it onto the noodles. Make sure to mix it very very well, or you'll have curry "bombs" in the noodles ;)
