Stir-fried Korean Ramyun Noodles (Ramyun Goreng) – Delishar

What’s your guilty pleasure? For me, it is Shin Ramyun Instant Noodles, maggi goreng style. Actually, I like the soup version as well. This is probably the only instant noodle I eat, as I like that the spiciness of this noodle isn’t as mild as all the other instant noodle brand. And more importantly, I like the texture of the ramen noodle most. 

Inspired by Maggi Goreng (also another of my guilty pleasure), I came up with this super easy recipe. This is a great way to jazz up common instant noodles, and it’s really delicious too! The recipe is completely versatile because you can add whatever you like to the mix. Beef slices, tofu cubes, scrambled eggs, or mushrooms just to name a few. Here I used fresh chicken breast and kimchi, then topped it with a gorgeous over easy fried egg. 

Writing this post is not helping with my diet at all. I’m getting really hungry, and craving for a bowl of stir-fried korean ramyun!! I shall stop writing about the dish, and leave you with the recipe before I cave. Enjoy!

Mee Goreng Mamak – Delishar

Whenever the husband and I go out to one of those prata coffeeshop to have dinner. My first instinct is to order mee goreng, beehoon goreng, or maggi goreng. So one of those days when we were at my brother’s house, walking to pack food back for dinner. I ordered myself a packet of mee goreng mamak. I find it really comforting to be enjoying indian-style mee goreng. I think it’s because of the sambal chilli, tangy tomato sauce, and the little bits of potato cubes and tofu cubes that I always find myself hunting for.

I’ve shared my version of the Chinese Tze Char Mee Goreng. I think the main difference is that the Chinese ones tends to be wetter or saucier. And of course, the Indian style mee goreng tends to be redder too. I realised it’s because of the type/brand of the ketchup and/or red food colouring that gives it that distinct redness. Anyhow, I stood there to look at the hawker cook my mee goreng, and at the same time took some mental notes. So, here’s my version of Mee Goreng Mamak.
