Indonesian Fried Noodles – Mie Goreng is a firm favourite of a surf and turf with noodles. The soft pork with the shrimp surrounded but noodles, perfectly cooked vegetables in a soy sauce is heaven. The dish only takes 30 minutes from start to eating so ideal for those on the go and those who take it slow. Serve as either a side dish or as a main dish or both.
