Mi Goreng
February 6th, 2006
Mi Goreng - instant fried noodle. This is the original flavor that catapulted Indomie into Indonesia’s ramen hall of fame.
It’s seasoned with an Indonesian sweet soy sauce and a spiced garlic flavored oil with a note of sesame oil. Properly prepared and hot, it has a rather rich sweet spiced soy taste with slightly nutty note and an almost buttery feel in the mouth.
Now that I have tried it, it needs a bit of explanation as to why it has such a legendary status in Indonesia. It got there because peoples remembered it, a simple comfort food at a time of needs. It’s like how ramen became a national heritage to the Japaneses because it too served a great need in a formative period. People adapted to it and while there has been great changes, there’s always a nostalgic longing to reclaim our pasts.
Cooking Directions
- Add noodles to 2 cups of boiling water and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add seasonings to plate while noodles are being cooked.
- Place well drained noodles on plate and mix well before serving
