Mee Goreng (24 May 2008)
Penang Mee Goreng is a spicy fried noodle dish that is usually sold by Indian Muslims, often called
mamak. Most stalls selling mee goreng often sell
mee rebus and
pasembur as well. The ingredients of all three dishes are practically the same, only the style of preparation differs, with pasembur served without noodles, often replaced by shredded cucumber and turnip.
Mee Goreng is a popular Penang hawker food that can be taken for breakfast, lunch and to a lesser extend, dinner. The noodle used is yellow egg noodles (
mee) while the ingredients include potatoes,
taukua (beancurd), bean sprout, prawn fritters,
niau-choo chi (flour-batter fritters), egg, and squid.
