Tips for making mie goreng
These are the two most important ingredients when making Mei Goreng.
I was able to find both at my local little oriental grocery store. They last a long time too!
Kecap Manis and Sweet Chili Sauce
Kecap is a really thick soy sauce that’s essential for getting the flavor you need.
And you just can’t eat Mie Goreng without chilled sweet chili sauce on top!
You will most likely have to find Kecap online or at your oriental store.
There’s different brands of sweet chili sauce, I’ve seen some at walmart and my local grocery store as well.
Sesame oil and liquid aminos
Also key is sesame oil. I looked 3 places for toasted sesame oil and never found it, but normal sesame oil will work too.
I also love using liquid aminos in this dish. It’s a natural soy sauce alternative and perfect in Asian dishes.
