Mee Goreng Recipe

Growing up I have always eaten the instant Mee Goreng.
This is my take on the instant Mee Goreng using fresh ingredients.
The traditional instant Mee Goreng doesn't come with veggies, so I have always added fried egg and extra ingredients.  I'm doing the same thing using chow mein noodles.  I found that it is way tastier when you actually mix the ingredients as you are eating it.  Rather than having the chef pre-mixed the ingredients for you.  Also the bean sprouts release a very distinct taste/smell that can often ruin and overwhelm the core ingredients.  That's why I preferred to cook the bean sprouts separately, so all you can taste from the bean sprouts are crispy fresh flavor.

I hope you will give it a try! and leave a comment below of how you like it! :)

Recipe:

1-1.5 lbs chow mein noodles
1 lb chicken things
1/2 lb shrimps
