Mee Goreng

For dinner one day at home

For office potluck dinner

Since I have got good reviews from my husband and colleagues on this mee goreng, I decided to post the recipe here. You can adjust the ingredients quantity accordingly and skip some - all up to you. The sauce is the most important items and do not skip this. 

Ingredients :

2 packets of mee (each packet can serve 5 to 6 people)

2 pieces of tofu (cut into pieces and fry first) 

5 pieces of dried tofu (cut into 2 pieces each) 

Sawi (cleaned and cut as well) 

Beansprouts

3 eggs 

Onion 

Garlic 

Bird's eye chili

Anchiovies

Calamansi

Sauce (prepare this in a bowl) 

4 tbsp grind chilli paste

4 tbsp tomato sauce

4 tbsp chilli sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

Steps 

1. Heat oil in a wok. Add the crushed onion and garlic. I add crushed anchovies at this point too. Stir well until it is fragrant. Add the bird's eye chili. And stir. 

2. Once this is done, on the same wok, set aside the above mixture and fry the eggs. (You can fry them separately too if you don't feel confident. I have been there) 

3. Add the tofu(s) . Mix well. 

4. Add the sauce and let it cook a while. Add salt if required. Then you can add the mee. Mix well until the sauce coats all parts of mee. 

5. Add the vegetables and mix well. 

Now, it is ready to be eaten. The calamansi adds some extra ummph.

I did a vegetarian mee goreng for my office potluck. So I skipped the anchovies and eggs. 

I skipped the beansprouts too since it has a tendency to spoil fast.
