Authentic Mie Goreng Recipe (Indonesian Fried Noodles)

This post was most recently updated on December 2nd, 2019

Each time I come home from Bali, I find myself craving one dish: mie goreng. And sure enough, within two weeks of my last return from my favorite island, I just had to have it. And that’s where this mie goreng recipe came into the picture.

If you’ve been to Bali — or anywhere in Indonesia — then I’m sure you’re very familiar with mie goreng, since you can find it on the menu at most traditional warungs!

However, if you haven’t met mie goreng yet, then let’s get you two acquainted.

Mie Goreng (Indonesian Fried Noodles)

Mie goreng is a scrumptious, traditional dish of fried noodles found throughout Indonesia (and also Malaysia).

A good mie goreng is equal parts sweet, salty, and umami, and packed with fresh vegetables and tender chicken and/or shrimp. And just as a good mie goreng’s flavors are deep and varied, so are its textures; between the chewy noodles, fried shallots, fresh vegetables, crunchy bean sprouts, scrambled eggs, and succulent proteins, there are lots of interesting textures going on in each bite.

There are very few (if any?) noodle dishes I love more than this one, and I know you’re going to feel the same way.

I’m in love with this mie goreng recipe because:

The flavors and textures bring me right back to Bali — my happy place.
Most people don’t know what mie goreng is, let alone how to make it.
Mie goreng makes for a very special, uncommon meal.
It’s fairly easy to throw together.
It’s absolutely, undeniably delicious.

Necessary Items for Mie Goreng

For this mie goreng recipe, you may need a few items you don’t already have. Luckily, though, once you have them, you will use them again, and again, and again.

Uncommon ingredients you’ll need:

Kecap manis (sweet Indonesian soy sauce)
- I was not able to find kecap manis in my local grocery store, despite having a fantastic Asian foods aisle. You can purchase kecap manis via Amazon here.
Sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste)
- Sambal oelek may be easier to find, but you can also purchase it via Amazon here.
Oyster sauce (a thick, sweet, salty, and umami sauce used in many Asian dishes)
- Finding oyster sauce in your local grocery store might be tricky. You can puchase it on Amazon here.
Chinese egg noodles
- I couldn’t find Chinese egg noodles on Amazon or in the grocery store! Instead, I used these ramen noodles (discarding the flavor packet).

Equipment you’ll need:

An awesome non-stick wok (giant bowl-shaped Chinese stir-frying pan)
- Life wouldn’t be the same without a wok. If you don’t have one already, then I highly recommend this wok!

This mie goreng recipe is very easy to make. The hardest part is simply waiting for your special items to arrive in the mail!

Are you ready to start cooking?

How to Make Mie Goreng

Once you have your kecap manis, sambal oelek, oyster sauce, noodles, and a wok, this recipe is so easy to throw together. All that’s left to do is a bit of chopping and stir-frying, and you’ll be ready for your Indonesian fried noodle feast!

To make this mie goreng recipe, start with the sauce. In a bowl, you’ll whisk all of the liquids together, and then set it aside.

Then fry up the shallots in some vegetable oil until they’re golden brown and crispy, place them on a paper towel to extract any excess oil, and set them aside.

Next, cook your chicken and/or shrimp and set that aside, too.

Now, it’s time to stir-fry your shallots and garlic, followed by your bok choy and carrots. Then, a few minutes later, you’ll add in your al dente noodles and the sauce, and stir very occasionally — you want your noodles to fry up and get crispy, so you shouldn’t move them around too much.

After your noodles are cooked to perfection, move everything to one side of the wok and scramble your eggs on the other side.

Add in the cooked chicken and/or shrimp, bean sprouts, and fried shallots, and mix everything together.

If desired, garnish your mie goreng with some more sambal oelek and fried shallots, and maybe even some crushed peanuts!

Then enjoy every last bite. Though something tells me you won’t need to be prompted to do so. This mie goreng is that good.

Mie Goreng Recipe

If you’re like me, and you constantly find yourself missing beautiful Indonesia, then I promise that this mouthwatering mie goreng recipe will bring you right back! If you close your eyes, you might even believe that you’re feasting at a busy roadside warung in Ubud or sitting on a beach in Jimbaran.

And if you have’t tried mie goreng yet, then I highly recommend you do!

Sweet, spicy, savory, chewy, crunchy, fresh, and succulent are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the complex bomb of flavors and textures that makes up mie goreng.

Don’t you just need that kind of deliciousness in your life?

I think so.

1 tbsp kecap manis (see notes)
1 tbsp sambal oelek (see notes)
1 tbsp oyster sauce (see notes)
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken stock

1 shallot finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil

4 oz chicken breast thinly sliced
1 tsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper for seasoning

4 oz shrimp peeled and deveined
1 tsp butter (or vegetable oil)
salt and pepper for seasoning

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 shallot finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 bok choy roughly chopped
2 carrots grated or julienned
2 packs noodles, cooked al dente (see notes)
1 cup bean sprouts
2 eggs

For the sauce, whisk liquids together in a bowl. Set aside.
For the fried shallots, heat oil in the wok. Fry shallots until crispy and golden brown. Place them on a paper towel to extract any excess oil. Set aside.
For the chicken, thinly slice, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry in oil until tender. About three minutes. Set aside.
For the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, cook in butter for about one minute on each side, or until cooked through, but tender. Set aside.
If needed, add more oil to the wok and heat. Add in other (raw) shallots and garlic, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Cook for two minutes.
Add in bok choy, stirring constantly for two more minutes.
Add in carrots and continue stirring for two more minutes.
Pour in sauce and noodles (previously cooked to al dente). Stir everything together, then allow for the noodles to fry and get crispy. About five to seven minutes. Stir occasionally, just enough to avoid burning.
Once noodles are crispy, move everything to one side of the wok. Scramble the eggs on the other side.
Add in chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, and fried shallots and mix everything together.
Remove from heat and serve. If desired, garnish with sambal oelek, fried shallots, and/or crushed peanuts.

For this recipe, I recommend using a wok, which is a Chinese-style stir-frying pan. If you don't have one already, then I highly recommend this wok! It is only $29 on Amazon.
