I just had to add to this post. It's amazing that this is the post with the highest number of hits! Thank you to all the supportive Maggi Goreng fans out there! Just a thought... since it's so popular, perhaps I might be able to open a Maggi Goreng stall in Australia in the near future?

It might be Mac & Cheese or Hot Dog for you but this is my all time favourite supper! It's a Malaysian thing and the quickest tastiest way to cure that poor tummy growl after a late night movie! I'd really like to know who is the brilliant person who invented this mind blowing snack? Please tell me if you know!

What is Maggi Goreng? Well, we basically cook a packet of Maggi Instant Noodle Curry flavoured but instead of serving it soupy, we stirfry it with egg and its curry seasoning. As an added value, some stalls would add vegetables and tofu. As you can see, mine is just plain old noodle with egg, which my kids could smell from miles away. They devoured the whole plate of noodle as quickly as I prepared it (which was only 8 minutes to be exact!). 

Maggi Goreng Recipe

Ingredients:

1 packet Maggi Mee Curry Flavour

1 tsp garlic mince

1 tbsp cooking oil

1/2 tsp dark soy sauce / kicap manis

1 egg

Method:

1. First cook the noodle in boiling water as you normally would. Drain the noodle after 2 minutes or almost cooked.
2. Heat up 1 tbsp of oil in wok. Saute garlic mince
3. Break the egg into the wok and give it a good stir before adding the noodle.
4. Pour half the sachet of curry seasoning into the wok and add the dark soy sauce. (Some of you might notice that I've reduced from a whole sachet to half as I've found that it's too salty if I do not add any vegetable, tofu or meat to the noodle. But then again, if you like it really flavourful, by all means add the whole thing!)
5. Sprinkle a little water and stirfry for 2 minutes.
6. Ready to serve. Normally you'd squeeze half a lime on the noodle to give it a nice tangy flavour!
