Mee Goreng literally means fried noodles in Malay. The main ingredients are yellow noodles, chilies, tomatoes, and eggs. Other ingredients may include shrimps, fried tofu, and bean sprouts. It is a much enjoyed street food in Malaysia and Singapore.

Ro-Ri San’s Mee Goreng

As Ro-Ri San assumes kitchen duty this weekend, Ro-Taro requested for him to make Mee Goreng in the Prairie, an adapted version using easily available ingredients here. Over the years, Ro-Ri San has tweaked and adapted the recipe to our liking. A twist to this version is the addition of Spam (a.k.a. luncheon meat) and chili spice mix. Instant ramen is used instead of fresh yellow noodles because the latter is not easily available here.

This dish is definitely not authentic but we love it. Actually, it is quite delicious and Ro-Ri San don’t make it often enough…hint, hint! Don’t omit the lime wedges. They are a must! Anyway, I am always thankful when Ro-Ri San assumes kitchen duty. A girl needs a rest especially during the weekends.

Suggested Substitutions

This dish does take a little time to prepare but it is well worth the effort. Spam may be substituted with shrimps or eggs if preferred. Do give it a try. It makes a wonderful weekend lunch.
