Maggi Goreng

Also known as Fried Maggi Noodles, this dish is a very common dish to all Malaysians. A casual trip to the Mamak Shop (a coffee shop business run by Indian Muslims), this is definitely one of the frequent orders made other than the famous Roti Canai.

As a special birthday treat, this dish was prepared by TheLoyalFan. ^_^ To be honest, his stir-frying skills are much better than mine and it's nice to take a break too!

So here goes...

First, chop up some onions and garlic (optional). For the ingredients of the noodle, it is really quite flexible. As long there's some meat, veggie and egg, it is A-okay!!! For ours, we always check what leftovers we have and just fry them up.

Slice up some lettuce and some meat. Place your instant noodles into a bowl with hot water and let it soak until it is semi-soft. Probably about 1 minute. The point here is to make it slightly softer but don't cook it completely. Otherwise, your noodle would be soggy at the end of the frying process.

Drizzle some cooking oil into your pan/wok and stir fry your onions. When they are fragrant, put in your meat and fry until it is almost completely cooked. Then beat an egg. Once the egg is cooked on one side, pour in the drained noodles and pour the curry flavour seasoning. Give it a good toss until all seasoning is evenly distributed. Last but not least, throw in your lettuce and give it a good stir. And finished!

As an alternative, you can try using similar ingredients as the Mamak chefs back home. If you plan to use cabbage, fry the cabbage before you fry the egg because it takes longer to cook the cabbage.

Souschef Su says: 'This always reminds me of home. Really yummy and I like the springy texture of the noodles. Would be great if there's some dahl (lentil) gravy served together. Mmmm!'

Well, since I was not the chef who prepared it, I thought for a change lah that I comment! Hehehehehe...

Have a great weekend everyone!
