I love the Quick Noodle Stir Fried Plate and this Mie Goreng is packed with the flavors of soy sauce, kecup manis, oyster sauce and lashing of sweet chili sauce. A great challenge for a spicy quick Friday night dinner.
This spicy Asian noodles recipe was inspired by my father, who spent part of his childhood in Singapore. His time over there gave him the real taste of spicy and sassy noodles/rice dishes.

You can be quite original with what you add to this dish. I chose some leftover chicken, mushrooms and some crispy onions. I also like to serve it with sliced, hard boiled eggs. That’s what my dad did, so I’m stuck with it! I’ve also listed more ingredient swaps in the post.

***A complete recipe with detailed instructions on the recipe card at the end of this post***
First, saute the shallots until lightly browned, remove from the wok and place on one side for later use as toppings. Fry the mushrooms in a pan, add garlic and white cabbage and fry together, then add cooked chicken and fresh yellow noodles. Cook for a few minutes, throw everything together with tongs, then add the bean plout and spring onions. Then add the kecucumber manis, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce and white pepper and toss together again until heated. It serves Mie Goreng topped with hard egg wedges, fresh coriander (coriander), sliced chili peppers, chili flakes and slices of lime.
