Ingredients

• 300 g egg noodles (dried or fresh)
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, julienned
• 100 g snap peas, trimmed
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 100 g bean sprouts
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (vegetarian)
• 0.5 tsp ground white pepper
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp fried shallots (for garnish)
• 2 lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, just until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, stirring constantly until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side. Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine with the vegetables.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), vegetarian oyster sauce, ground white pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Pour this sauce mixture into the wok and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the bean sprouts and green onions to the noodles, and stir-fry for another 1 minute to slightly wilt them.

Step 7

Transfer the Mi Goreng to serving plates and garnish with fried shallots for added crunch. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
