Mee Goreng (Indian Version)

Another great recipe from the play dates when my son was a baby. One of the moms, and good a friend of mine, who is from Singapore, originally made these and I asked her for the recipe right away. It is really easy to make! For a kid friendly version make it a little less spicy.

Ingredients

• 1 packet fresh egg noodles
• 2 medium sized red onions, sliced
• 1 medium red pepper (optional)
• 1 packet Chinese spinach, chopped (I use choy sum, it has yellow flowers )
• 1/2 cup cubed fried tofu
• 1 small can of peas
• 1 1/2 tsp green chili, ginger and garlic paste
• 3 serving spoons of tomato ketchup
• 3 serving spoons of chili sauce
• 3 serving spoons of soy sauce
• 3 serving spoons of ketchup manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• Salt to taste

(Noodles are spicy so adjust the chili to your taste)

Method

1. In a large pot, stir fry chopped onions in some oil until light golden.
2. Add the chili, ginger, garlic paste, chili powder, salt and turmeric and cook for a minute.
3. Add the tomato ketchup, chili sauce, soy sauce and ketchup manis. Stir everything and let cook another minute.
4. Add in tofu cubes, peas and spinach. Cook till spinach wilts a little. 
5. Then add in the fresh egg noodles and stir until all the ingredients are mixed well.
6. Taste the noodles and if more salt and spice is required, add some chili powder for spice and salt .
7. Take a flat pan and pan fry mixed noodles lightly, with a little bit of oil, in batches - one serving at a time.
