For the Mee Goreng:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
½ small onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 oz bok choy or other green vegetable, cut into large chunks
Handful of bean sprouts
2 eggs
1 chicken breast cut into thin strips (or use any left over chicken and shred it)
2 tbsp ground peanuts
Noodle sauce mixture to combine together:
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Chili Sauce (Sriracha is a good one)
2 tbsp oyster sauce
To serve / garnish:
Bunch of spring onions, finely sliced
1 tbsp crisp-fried shallots
Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
Pasta / noodle making
Using a large board or work surface, pile the flour into a heap and make a well in the center
Crack the eggs into the well
Using a fork start to incorporate the flour into the eggs, breaking the yolks and mixing it all together
This bit can get a bit messy so work quickly mixing flour flour and eggs together
Then you can get your hands dirty and start bringing it all together and kneading it, adding a tablespoon of water to make it into a firm ball of dough
Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest on the work surface for 1/2 an hour
Once rested you can start to roll it out, either using a rolling pin or a pasta machine
We used a 1/4 of the dough to make the noodles which was enough for 2 people
You can re wrap the dough and keep it in the fridge for another day and another recipe depending on how many people your cooking for
You’ll need some extra flour to sprinkle on your board or rolling pin
Roll out the dough until it’s nice and thin
Either using a knife or the thin spaghetti cutter on the pasta machine, cut into noodles
Leave on a lightly floured surface until your ready to cook
Get a large pan of salted hot water ready
Mee Goreng
Get all ingredients ready and chopped before cooking
Make sure your water is boiling for the fresh noodles
To begin, place a wok or a large skillet on a high heat
Once hot, add the oil and the chicken breast and cook for about 2 minutes until white and nearly cooked through
Add the garlic, onions, stir fry for 30 seconds, then add the green veg and stir fry for 10 seconds
Now dunk the noodles into the boiling water for about 10 seconds
using a slotted spoon shake off excess water, or drain quickly and toss into the wok
Give a good stir to mix the noodles in, pour in the sauces mix well
Push the noodle mixture to one side of the wok to clear a space
Break the eggs into the space and stir fry until almost cooked
Add the ground peanuts and bean sprouts, and mix all together
Serve with a sprinkle of spring onions and fried shallots and big squeeze of lime juice
