  • ground white pepper0.5 tsp
  • salt1 to taste

Instructions

1

Boil the egg noodles in salted water for 3-4 minutes until al dente, drain in a colander, rinse with cold water and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil so they don't stick together.

2

In a bowl, mix the kecap manis, soy sauce and sambal oelek — this is the dish's main sauce.

3

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or wide skillet over high heat, stir-fry the chicken breast cut into thin strips for 3-4 minutes until golden, add the shrimp and cook for another 1-2 minutes until pink. Transfer to a plate.

4

Pour a little oil into the same wok, add the beaten eggs, let set for 10 seconds, then break up into large pieces with a spatula. Combine with the chicken and shrimp.

5

Add the remaining oil, stir-fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant.

6

Add the cabbage, stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened, then add the mung bean sprouts and stir for another 30 seconds.

7

Return the noodles, chicken and shrimp to the wok, pour in the sauce and stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the noodles evenly absorb the sauce and lightly brown.

8

Add the green onion, fried egg and white pepper, stir for 30 seconds, and season with salt to taste.

Serve mi goreng immediately while hot.
