Indonesian Fried Noodle ( Mie Goreng Indonesia )

Recipe source : Adapted from Indochine Kitchen


Wow! This is really hot and spicy! For those not accustomed to hot and spicy food, you better reduce the amount of chillies and pepper for a milder flavour. The spice paste has a very distinct peppery flavour which taste really good, that is if you like spicy food with lots of pepper.

This noodle dish is meatless.

Ingredients For Spice Paste

2 cloves garlic
10 shallots
4 candle nuts, toasted
1/2 tsp whole peppercorns

Pound all the ingredients together using a mortar and pestle or use a spice grinder to mince them.
