Mie goreng is a classic Indonesian dish where noodles are stir-fried with a paste made of shallots, garlic, and candlenuts. Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) is another main ingredient that makes mie goreng different than other fried noodles.
No exact rules what you should or shouldn’t add, you can add as many or as little to your fried noodles. The most ingredients in mie goreng are noodles and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). But this time I replace the egg noodles with shirataki noodles.
Here is my version of mie goreng shirataki. This is a simple and vegetarian version of this iconic Indonesian dish. I use Chinese cabbage, brown shimeji mushrooms, crisp mung bean sprouts & toasted sesame seeds
