Fried Egg Noodles (Yee Mee Goreng)


This recipe is perfect for those who are living by themselves or like me, left to rot alone at home without food. So, I decided to  fix myself something to eat and this recipe appealed to me the most since is tasty and quick to make.

To make this dish, I used dried egg noodles, which you can easily obtain from the supermarket.



I started to boil some water in a pan and cooking one disc of the dried egg noodles. Once the egg noodles are al dente, strain the noodles and keep aside.




Go on to prepare all the other necessary ingredients.




In a wok, heat some oil and fry the sliced onion and garlic till soft and fragrant.



Add in the cubed chicken, prawns and chicken stock and fry for about 1 minute.



Throw in all the veggies and continue to fry for a bit.



Add in the dark soy sauce and mix well.



Lastly, add in the cooked egg noodles and give it a quick toss and remove from heat. Sprinkle some chopped spring onions and serve hot.
