👉 Mee goreng mamak is Malaysia’s famous spicy fried noodle dish from the Indian-Muslim mamak stalls. Yellow noodles are wok-fried with a chilli-peanut paste, tofu, potato, greens, prawn fritters and egg.

🍳 How to Make Mee Goreng Mamak

1. Fry the aromatics. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the peanuts, dried chillies, dried shrimp and dhal until fragrant, then remove

2. Make the paste. Blend the fried ingredients with the tamarind paste and water until fine. Sauté the paste in oil over low heat until the oil separates and the paste darkens

3. Prepare the add-ins. Peel and cube the potatoes and boil until knife-tender. Slice the onion and fried tofu, mince the garlic, and cut the cabbage and choi sum. Slice the prawn fritters. Soften the noodles in boiling water if using dried. Mix dark soy sauce with water

4. Fry one portion. Heat oil and add a quarter of the garlic, onion and paste. Sauté until fragrant, adding prawns if you like. Add a quarter of the tofu, potatoes, cabbage, choi sum and prawn fritters and cook for 30 seconds

5. Add the noodles. Add the noodles and 3 tablespoons of the soy mixture and toss for 1 minute

6. Add the egg. Push the noodles to one side, scramble in an egg and mix through. Garnish with lime and sliced green chilli. Repeat for the remaining portions
