Mee goreng

Mee goreng is a spicy, dry, stir-fried Southeast Asian noodle recipe made with Chinese vegetables, carrots and peppers. This recipe comes from the vegetarian restaurant Mildreds in Soho, London.

Or, try this vegetable-packed nasi goreng from Victoria Glass’s cookbook Too Good To Waste (vegetarians please note: it contains shrimp paste).

  1. Kecap manis is a thick, sweet Indonesian soy sauce that’s widely available in Asian grocers and larger supermarkets. It’s a key to the flavour of this dish, so we urge you to seek it out – though you could substitute hoisin sauce (just use half as much).

    Kai lan is also known as Chinese broccoli/kale and has a similar flavour to broccoli. If you can’t find it, use tenderstem broccoli instead.

    For best results, and to prevent the stir-fry releasing too much liquid, cook in 2 batches (step 2).
